Learn Persian with Chai and Conversation

In Lesson 11, we learn how to talk about languages we know, and to convey how much of a language we can speak or understand.

When talking to someone in something other than your native language, it sometimes helps to know what other languages they speak. This not only helps you to learn more about a person, but can also potentially give you insight into other things you have in common with them. In this Persian / Farsi lesson, we learn how to talk about the languages we can speak, learn the words for different languages, and learn to speak about the proficiency with with we speak certain languages. Also, importantly, we learn how to tell people to slow down if they're speaking too fast for us to understand.KEY CONCEPTS: Telling others which languages we can speak Telling others the proficiency with which we can speak those languages The names for different popular languages Ask others to slow down when speaking Ask others how to say something in Persian

In Iranian culture, family is extremely important. Instead of having just one Persian word for 'aunt' for instance, we have two- there is a different word for the sister of your father (amé) versus the sister of your mother (khālé). So when referring to one or the other, people know exactly whether you are speaking of your maternal or paternal aunt. Similarly, while there is only one word for 'cousin', in Persian there are eight different words for cousin depending on whether they are female or male, or whether they are on your mother or father's side of the family.

In Lesson 9, we learn more more words for extended family members, and we go over the ‘question words’ in the Persian language. Also, we will clarify some of the words and phrases we have learned in past lessons.

This lesson goes over 'question words' and filler words and vocabulary.

This might seem complicated, but once you get the hang of it, it makes figuring out who a given person is referring to quite easy! In this Persian (Farsi) lesson, we go over all the different words for extended family. These will be very useful when talking to Iranians, because, as we've said, family is extremely important in Iranian culture. In addition, we learn the most important question words to help you form useful questions when having conversations. Questions are a useful tool for getting to know someone, and these question words will allow you to form many different sentences using the vocabulary we've learned so far. The questions words we go over in this lesson are: Who  When Where What How Which We also learn some key questions you can form using these words including:  Where are you? What do (would) you like? How's it going? Who is this? Why not? How many? How? Where is it? How much?  At this point of Chai and Conversation, you'll be amazed by how much you can understand of casual Persian conversations.

This lesson teaches you how to talk about your likes and dislikes, and provides vocabulary for talking about the types of things you do.

In this Persian (Farsi) lesson, you learn to talk about your likes and dislikes. Also, we will be learning the Persian sound ‘gh’. There are two sounds in the Persian language that you don't hear in English. The first is the sound 'kh' heard in words such as 'khoobam'- we went over this in Lesson 1. The second is the sound 'gh' which we'll be going over in this lesson. We learn it specifically to learn the word for music, or museeghee in Persian.
