Learn Persian with Chai and Conversation Lesson 25.

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.

Welcome to Lesson 25, the fifth in our series of grammar lessons.

As always, you can go over previous lessons and download essential bonus materials on our website at www.

chai and conversation.com with chai spelled C-H-A-I.
