Learn Persian with Chai and Conversation Lesson 18

Hello and welcome to Learn Persian with Chaya and Conversation, the podcast for anyone looking to learn conversational Persian.

My name is Leila and I'll be your teacher for the course.

And my name is Matt and I will be learning Persian along with you.

Chaya Conversation will teach you conversational Persian in weekly lessons of about 15 minutes each.

If you know anything about Iranians, they don't do anything without first grabbing a cup of tea,

or as they call it, Chai.

So pour yourself a cup and join us in learning the Persian language.

Hello everyone and welcome back to learn Persian with chai andation. We're so glad to have you with us.

We're now on lesson 18 of the program and we're continuing with what we're calling Unit 2 of Chai and

conversation. The goal of this unit is to build a vocabulary and to have a good grasp of how to have

conversations in the Persian language. In the next unit, we'll talk more specifically about grammar and the more detailed aspects of the Persian language.

In this lesson, we're going to continue our learning of conversational skills by learning two very important topics of discussion, the time and weather.

We'll learn how to tell the time when asked that oh so common question, what time is it.

We'll also learn how to answer how the weather is.

As always, remember that you can access more useful learning information on our website

at www.cha andconversation.com, with Chai spelled C-H-A-I.

And enough of that for now. Matt, are you ready to begin the lesson?

Ready.

Great. Then let's begin to learn Persian with Chai and Conversation.

So first, to ask what time it is, we say,

Soat chande.
