| 0:00.0 | Learn Persian with Chai and Conversation Lesson 40. |
| 0:07.2 | Hello and welcome to Learn Persian with Chaya and Conversation, the podcast for anyone looking to learn conversational Persian. |
| 0:15.0 | My name is Leila and I'll be your teacher for the course. |
| 0:18.3 | And my name is Matt and I will be learning Persian along with you. |
| 0:22.6 | Chaya Conversation will teach you conversational Persian in weekly lessons of about 15 minutes each. |
| 0:28.6 | If you know anything about Iranians, they don't do anything without first grabbing a cup of tea, |
| 0:33.6 | or as they call it, Chai. |
| 0:36.6 | So pour yourself a cup and join us in learning the Persian language. |
| 0:50.4 | Hello and welcome to Learn Persian with Chai and Conversation. |

| 1:25.2 | They're really happy that he's shown an active interest in learning as well. |
| 1:28.7 | Well, great. So because this is the last lesson in Unit 4, we're going to do something a bit |
| 1:33.9 | different. We're going to listen to the entire conversation first in Persian and then listen to the |
| 1:39.5 | entire conversation in English. We'll leave it up to you to fill in the gaps and won't go over it line by line like we have in other conversations. |
| 1:47.3 | We'll end the lesson by listening to the entire Persian dialogue one last time, and hopefully the second time around it'll be easier to understand. |
| 1:55.0 | Hopefully you will be able to use context clues to understand the majority of the conversation. |
