Learn Persian with Chai and Conversation.

I'm so excited today to release my interview with Bahadur Alast of the extremely popular YouTube channel of the

same name. Bajador is a mohandess or engineer by day, but he has over 278,000 subscribers on

YouTube following a niche that he's been able to fulfill and thrive in so well, comparing

languages to one another. His videos

usually consist of two people from different cultural backgrounds with different native languages

comparing certain words in their language with him moderating. They end up discovering

similarities between seemingly disparate cultures that they were not even aware of and often end up really bonding and having a wonderful time.

The videos are so fun to watch and take you on a journey into what unites us all, even if it's not obvious on the surface.

I did a poll asking who I should interview for this series and Bahadur was the most requested guest.

So I learned so much about curiosity, languages, and being open-minded from this conversation.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Let's listen.

Bahadur alas, thank you so much for talking with me today.
