Frequently asked questions
What is comprehensible input?
Comprehensible input is content in your target language that you can mostly understand even when you don't know every word. Getting lots of it is one of the most effective ways to acquire a language. The hard part on YouTube is finding it: a plain search mixes beginner explainers, native-speed vlogs, and everything in between, with no indication of what you'll actually understand.
Which YouTube searches and channels work for comprehensible Persian at each level?
For intermediate (B1 to B2) Persian at a natural pace, try "کلیپ کوتاه معرفی خانواده به زبان فارسی", "داستان تصویری کوتاه بسیار ساده فارسی برای کودکان" and "کلیپ زندگی روزمره یک کودک فارسی"; TarbiatMag and دیالوگ are channels worth following there.
How did Reelang find these Persian search queries?
Reelang scours the web and grades thousands of videos every day for language learners. Doing that at scale teaches us which YouTube searches reliably return easy, slowly spoken Persian and which ones only look promising. The queries on this page are the repeat performers: themes that keep surfacing level-appropriate videos. They are also only the tip of the iceberg. Most good videos never cluster under a reliable search; a query can return a hundred results with only three that fit a beginner. We catch those one-offs while grading, so the full set of 53 graded Persian (فارسی) videos lives on Reelang and in the Persian comprehensible input video catalog, far more than these searches alone would surface.

What level of Persian should I start with?
If you can follow slow, clearly spoken Persian on familiar topics, start with the intermediate queries (B1 to B2). If you're not sure, start by watching 3 to 5 videos at different levels on Reelang and we find out which level is right for you as you watch, no signup needed.
