Our class is using Alefba
Dear families,
This year our class is using Alefba (learnalefba.com) to practise reading and speaking Persian, at school and at home. Alefba teaches the alphabet and everyday words, with recordings of how people really say them.
Talks with the characters
Our class plan includes short practice conversations with characters in the app, such as a new classmate or a shopkeeper. The characters' lines are written by an AI (Claude, made by Anthropic) and are kept to Persian practice at the learner's level. Each learner has 5 talks a month. Learners can type or say their answers out loud.
What Alefba keeps, and what it doesn't
- To join the class, your child types a first name or a nickname. Please don't use a full name.
- The teacher sees that name and your child's progress: which lessons are done, the days they practised, and how many letters and words they know.
- The talks themselves are not saved or kept by Alefba, and your child's voice is never recorded or stored: it's turned into text to answer, then gone.
- The characters are told never to ask for personal details, such as a surname, address, school or phone number.
- There are no ads, and nothing is sold or shared for advertising.
Your choice
If you'd rather your child didn't use the talks, or you want your child removed from the class and their class progress deleted, just tell me and I'll take care of it. Children can still use the lessons without the talks.

Thank you,
Your child's teacher
