Alefbe teaches you to read Farsi (also called Persian or Dari) and Pashto from zero, starting with the alphabet. Every letter, word, and phrase has native audio. Letter Forms shows how each letter changes shape at the start, middle, and end of a word. From there: 300+ sight words by topic, everyday phrases, and quizzes with XP and daily streaks. Built for beginners, and for heritage speakers who speak the language at home but never learned to read it. Up to 6 learner profiles per account.

Hi Product Hunt 👋
I am Faiq, one of the makers of Alefbe.
Alefbe teaches you to read Farsi (also called Persian or Dari) and Pashto, starting from the alphabet. Most language apps skip these two entirely. Duolingo does not offer Pashto or Dari, and what exists elsewhere is mostly PDFs and videos with audio you cannot trust.
What is inside:
• Every letter with native audio, taught in order
• Letter Forms, so you learn how each letter changes shape at the start, middle, and end of a word
• 300+ sight words grouped by topic (family, food, colors, animals, home, clothing) with pictures and audio
• Everyday phrases with the script, the meaning, and the pronunciation
• Quizzes, XP, daily streaks, and a review session that brings back what you found hardest
• Up to 6 learner profiles per account, so parents can add each child
It works best for two groups. Complete beginners, and heritage speakers who speak Dari or Pashto at home but never learned to read it. If you already know the spoken words, reading comes fast.
A few details: Farsi has 32 letters, Pashto has 44. Both are written right to left. The Farsi audio uses the Dari dialect, so if you want Dari, choose Farsi and you are in the right course.
The first three alphabet lessons are free in both languages, so you can hear the audio before paying anything. Full access is $7.99/month or $29.99/year, and Alefbe is completely free in several countries.
Available on web, iOS, and Android.
Coming next: an AI tutor, pronunciation practice with voice feedback, grammar lessons, and offline mode.
I would love your feedback on the audio quality, and on which of those we should build first.
