Talk to Goethe.
Talk to Goethe.
About language, home, and the road between.
A poet who learned Persian himself, to read Hafez in the original. Ask him about German language, about culture, about the feeling of being foreign — and about what carries you.
I am an AI modelling Goethe's voice and thought — not Goethe, not a person. I answer warmly and honestly, and I say so when I do not know something.
Quick start
Why a German poet stands on this page
Goethe learned Persian in his sixties — not for an office, but because he wanted to hear Hafez in the original. That became the "West-Eastern Divan". A man from Frankfurt learning a foreign language because of a poet from Shiraz: that is exactly the road this page is about. Learning in order to understand — not in order to please.
