about zabanak

hi! we’re zabanak, a tiny brand with a big heart for bilingual learning.

It all started when an Afghan-American mom couldn’t find the kind of Farsi flashcards she wanted for her young child, something warm, simple, modern, and fun. So she created them herself.

What began as a small idea grew into zabanak, which means “little tongue” or “little language.” zabanak became a journey to create modern, joyful bilingual tools that help little learners explore both Farsi and English.

With gentle colors, friendly characters (hi Bana and Zaka!), and durable child-safe materials, our products are made to be loved, played with, and learned from.

zabanak is for every family learning Farsi, whether Afghan, Iranian, diasporic, blended, multilingual, or simply curious. Our hope is that these cards bring more shared words, more cultural connection, and more joyful moments into your home.

because they deserve both languages 💛
