In this lesson, we continue our conversation about jobs. We learn to talk about where we work, including words for places like an office, a restaurant and a hospital, and also to discuss whether or not we like our jobs.
In this lesson, we learn how to talk a bit more about your family, including talking about how many of each member of the family you have. In addition, we learn to count from one to ten. You can find the bonus materials for Lesson 6 here.
In this lesson, we learn all about the Persian tradition of celebrating birthdays. We also learn the lyrics to the Persian birthday song. However, we don't sing it. To hear it sung, check out this version sung by one of the best Iranian singers, Hayedeh.
In this lesson, we learn to say where we live and if it's different than where we are originally from. In addition, we learn how to answer simple questions using yes, yeah, and no.
In this lesson, we learn the different forms of you, formal and informal. In addition, we build on learning how to introduce yourself, including asking where others are from, and how to answer where you are from.
In this lesson, we follow Lesson 2 of Learn Persian with Chai and Conversation- to get the bonus materials for this lesson, visit the lesson page. There, you'll find the transcript of the lesson, the lesson guide, the words presented as individual 'snippets' so you can listen to them over and over again, and an enhanced podcast where you can watch a video of the lesson with the words flashing on the screen.
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!
