About this episode

Knowing animal sounds in Persian might seem unimportant, but these sounds are a part of the culture.
When you're first learning Persian, it helps to understand some of the subtle nuances of the language. The onomatopoeia we use to describe animal sounds is different depending on where you are in the world.
It's really a matter of perception and comprehension, as far as our phonological system allows us.
