Learn Persian with Chai and Conversation, Lesson 89.

Hello and welcome to lesson 89 of Learn Persian with Chai and Conversation. My name is Leila,

and I'm your teacher for the course. In the last lesson, we talked about the poem,

Raz by Ahmad Shomdu, with our friend Tehran von Ghastri. We went over the meaning of the poem and did a general translation as well. If you haven't heard that lesson yet, go back and listen to it, lesson 88.

In this lesson, we go over the individual words and phrases learned in the poem, and we also

learn how to use your words and phrases in everyday conversation. You don't need to know

any Persian to be able to understand this lesson, and it's a great way to learn some great words

and phrases in context. Remember that this audio lesson is only one part of the Chai and

conversation learning system. If you log on to our website at chai and conversation.combeation.com

with Chai spelled C-H-A- a i you can get access to the bonus materials

for this lesson which have all the words and phrases we learn written in phonetic english ways to listen

to each of the words and lines of the poems individually so you can really learn them transcripts of the

lessons and lots of other learning materials we'll talk about that more after the lesson,

but for now, let's get right into it. In this lesson, we're going to be learning the first half of the poem,

Rauz, by Ahmed Shomlu. My aunt Farnas, Cholet Farnas, has a beautiful voice that you've heard

before if you've listened to the podcast. So first, let's listen to her read the entire poem.

Ba man razy boud, that be coo, gulfedam.

Ba man razy boud, to raezy bough, to rawhi raeas,

be asf the sh, I'm.

B'i-Kas and tan'a, be sanghae of the road, I've gottam.

B'araz of Kuhn'h, as ra'erhersed.

Harfie, not run, harfie, n'rondy.
