Speak Lesson 5 | How to Talk About Your ...

Chai & Conversation
About this episode

In this Persian (Farsi) lesson, we learn the words for members of your immediate family, and learn how to introduce your family members to other people. We finish off the lesson by learning how to introduce the names of your family members to others. We begin by learning the vocabulary words for several key members of the family in Persian. As you know, family is very important in the Persian culture, so these vocabulary words wll be more useful to you than you could imagine. The words learned in this part of the lesson include:

  • brother
  • sister
  • mother
  • father
  • daughter
  • son
  • husband
  • wife   

In the Persian culture, family is extremely important, and there are many many more words for specific family members than there are in English. For this reason, we'll leave the vocabulary words (yes, there are multiple multiple words) for cousin, aunt and uncle to a different lesson. We also learn how to talk about a direct relative of yours by saying phrases such as:

  • my mother
  • my son
  • my daughter
  • This is my ____________

We finish off the lesson by learning how to introduce the names of family members.
