“那您如果有一辆汽车, 您愿意捐给别人吗?”

“为什么呀?”

“别的都行, 就是汽车不行。”

"您有十个亿您都愿意捐。为什么车就不行了?”

Jag är riktigt nervös för att återvända med också taggad och redo att möta allt som hänt under mina första 25 år i Sverige.

In this episode, we will be discussing some of the differences between informal and formal Farsi, and we'll go through some examples of  each one.  We will focus on  the nuances of the Farsi language and learn how to communicate more effectively . In addition to the podcast, I have attached a Google Doc with further information and examples for listeners to study and practice.
