| 0:17.7 | Hello everyone and welcome to Lesson 78 of Learn Persian with Chaiin Conversation. |
| 0:23.2 | We're so glad you're here and joining us. |
| 0:25.5 | As we said last week, we are doing a special vocabulary sprint series for the next few lessons |
| 0:31.0 | of Chaiang Conversation. Our goal is to get you as many new vocabulary words as possible |
| 0:35.9 | in a short period of time. In these lessons, we be covering a range of vocabulary and you can learn more about these |
| 0:42.3 | lessons at our website, chai and conversation.com with chai spelled C-H-A-I. |
