IHF may have closed its doors to the public during these uncertain times, but you can still catch up on a wide variety of our past events. Whether it’s a talk on Cyrus the Great, a lecture about the Mirza Akbar drawings, a discussion about Iranian cuisine, a seminar on urban planning, or a conference about Iran’s medical heritage, you can enjoy these videos and more from the comfort of your own home.

Persian Language Online is one of the IHF’s flagship projects devoted to providing online language learning resources for anyone interested in learning Persian. During this difficult time where many of us find ourselves housebound, Persian Language Online offers a wealth of practice texts, dialogues, animations and regular blogposts relating to Persian language and culture which will occupy you from your very first attempts at the Persian script, to forays into the vast world of Persian poetry and literature.
Visit the website here and follow Persian Language Online on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram to keep up to date. |
