Anar Language Center

It was Nowruz 2017 and Shiva Danesh, a Persian language teacher with over 10 years of experience with a background in theater,  and Nushin Sabet, an Iranian-American entrepreneur and artist with an eye for design, started talking about the need for a Persian language and cultural center in Los Angeles. Since both had a love for Persian culture their idea was to bring language and culture together in an immersive community setting that a generation of modern Iranian-Americans and their non-Iranian friends of all ages would find appealing.  

Shiva knew exactly the curriculum that would be effective in teaching Persian to contemporary Iranian-Americans, and Nushin had many ideas for how to weave Iranian culture into the fabric of the center and its offerings in a way that would be inviting to anyone interested in learning Persian.

نوروز 1396 بود که شیوا دانش، معلم زبان فارسی با بیش از 10 سال سابقه و سابقه تئاتر، و نوشین ثابت، کارآفرین و هنرمند ایرانی-آمریکایی با چشمی به طراحی، شروع به صحبت در مورد نیاز به مرکز فرهنگی زبان فارسی در لس آنجلس کردند. از آنجایی که هر دو به فرهنگ فارسی عشق می ورزیدند، ایده آنها این بود که زبان و فرهنگ را در یک محیط اجتماعی غوطه ور در کنار هم قرار دهند که برای نسلی از ایرانی-آمریکایی های مدرن و دوستان غیرایرانی آنها در هر سنی جذاب باشد
