PODGAP
About this episode
In this beginner-friendly episode, you will learn how to talk about different tastes in Persian — like sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and spicy. First, we introduce the words one by one, and then we use them in short dialogues so you can understand and practice them in real conversations.

If you’d like to go further, you can access extra learning materials on our Patreon page, www.patreon.com/podgap, including vocabulary lists, worksheets, and transcripts of this episode. These resources will help you review and practice the words more effectively.


If Podgap helps you with learning the Persian language, share it with your friends. That would mean a lot to us. We can be in touch by podgapp@gmail.com
