Farsi Unlocked Through Stories & Screens | DLI Method Creator | 11+ Years"
Hi! I’m Sabur — a linguist, polyglot, and your guide to thinking in Farsi. Born in Iran, lived in Tehran. I’ve spent a decade helping learners speak naturally through my DLI Method: science-backed immersion that skips grammar drills and textbooks.
My students don’t just learn Farsi—they feel it. We dissect TV dialogues, unravel cultural metaphors, and turn conversations into memories (yes, even if you’re starting from "سلام").
Currently battling Chinese (irony: it’s not simple), I know the pain—and the shortcuts. Let’s make your journey cheerful and effective :-)Me as a Teacher
I’m the anti-textbook language coach. My DLI Method merges the best of science-backed approaches (NLP, Natural Approach, TPR) with real-world immersion — using TV series, storytelling, and mimicry drills to rewire your brain for thinking in Farsi.
Why it works:
✅ Zero translation — Learn through context, sound, and repetition, like a native.
✅ Culture-embedded — Slang, metaphors, and the why behind words.
✅ Tailored to you — Need Farsi for family, films, or work? We adapt.
✅ Speak immediately — No "study mode." You’ll talk from Minute 1.
Patient, playful, and obsessed with real fluency, I’ll help you bridge the gap between "knowing" and owning the language. My lessons & teaching style
DLI Method in Action:
🎬 Learn through TV & film: decode tone, humor, and slang
🗣️ Shadowing drills: mimic natives to master flow
📖 Storytelling: grammar arises organically, not from charts
🎧 Ear training: build listening skills with natural audio
💬 Role-play: practice situations you'll actually use
Lessons are structured yet flexible — built around your passions. Whether you want to discuss Persian poetry, analyze a hit series, or prep for a trip — I’ll help you fall in love with the process.My teaching material

I enjoyed my first lesson learning Persian with Sabour. He is kind, patient, positive and wants to help you be successful. As an English teacher myself, I like his method of teaching. No tedious grammar exercises.

I was delighted to find Sabour on italki: he's a great teacher with a great method. Not only he uses videos with real conversations in Persian, but also teaches you how spoken Persian is actually used, which is very difficult to find on the internet or even here with other teachers. Highly recommended!
