In this video, we go through Lesson 1 of Chai and Conversation with Leyla and Chris. Chris has been married to Leyla for over three years now, but has not dived into the Chai and Conversation program just yet. Because the in-laws (and Leyla) are growing a bit impatient with his lack of knowledge of the Persian language, he is going through the program in video format with Leyla. The lessons in 'So I Married an Iranian' will follow the same format of the podcasts of Chai and Conversation- however, there will be plenty of cultural lessons as well. Learn along with Chris as he journeys into the Persian language and culture!
