My Persian Corner

Persian (Farsi) language & grammar lessons

Welcome to my channel! My name is Pontia (the "i" is silent). I'm an ESL teacher with an MA TESOL, introvert, animal lover, and avid language learner. I also love writing, so I started my blog, My Persian Corner, over a decade ago as a way to explore my Iranian heritage. I share language-related blog posts and cultural explainers, through the lens of an Iranian-American, for those interested in the Persian language and Iranian culture. I feel more comfortable writing, but a while ago, I decided to take the plunge and step in front of the camera to teach Persian/Farsi on YouTube and social media.

I use techniques from my degree to bring you quality, practical Persian lessons, but as a one-woman show, it's not easy talking to a camera 😄 Regardless, I'm happy you're here and hope you consider subscribing as that's the best way to support these free Persian lessons for everyone and really helps boost this channel!
