The FarsiMonde group consists of two parts: enthusiastic teachers, and culture lovers who help produce content.
All FarsiMonde experienced teachers are native Iranians living in Iran and are interested in the Iranian society and the culture of different regions because of their anthropological concerns. For this reason, they are aware of the strong and weak points of multi-colored Iranian culture and are truly close to the Persian culture and literature. FarsiMonde is composed of teachers interested in Persian language who have dedicated their lives to trying to discover new and effective methods for teaching Farsi and introducing this region’s literature and culture to the people of the world.
Iranian scholars and linguists always try to reach new methods for teaching Farsi, but perhaps due to limited cultural exchange, few facilities and texts have so far been produced for teaching Farsi to foreign nationals.

Here we have a Tale of Sa'di from the first section of his masterpiece, Golistan (The Rose Garden of Sa'di) - The Manner of Kings, 7th story.
English Translation
A padshah was in the same boat with a Persian slave who had never before been at sea and experienced the inconvenience of a vessel. He began to cry and to tremble to such a degree that he could not be pacified by kindness, so that at last the king became displeased as the matter could not be remedied.
In that boat there happened to be a philosopher, who said: ‘With thy permission I shall quiet him.’ The padshah replied: ‘It will be a great favour.’
The philosopher ordered the slave to be thrown into the water so that he swallowed some of it, whereon be was caught and pulled by his hair to the boat, to the stern of which he clung with both his hands. Then he sat down in a corner and became quiet.
This appeared strange to the king who knew not what wisdom there was in the proceeding and asked for it. The philosopher replied: ‘Before he had tasted the calamity of being drowned, he knew not the safety of the boat; thus also a man does not appreciate the value of immunity from a misfortune until it has befallen him.’
O thou full man, barley-bread pleases thee not.
She is my sweetheart who appears ugly to thee.
To the huris of paradise purgatory seems hell.
Ask the denizens of hell. To them purgatory is paradise.
There is a difference between him whose friend is in his arms
And him whose eyes of expectation are upon the door.
