Salam everyone! 
I hope you are all doing great. I decided to create a Persian podcast to help all Persian lovers to learn this beautiful language. My goal is to help you speak Persian from day 1. 
In today's episode, we learnt how to say (this is .../ or that is ....). 
This in Farsi is (ēnاین) and that in Farsi is (آنān). 
As you know, English is formed this way:
Subject + Verb + Object. 
This + is + printer.
but in Farsi, it is:
Subject + Object + Verb.
We say the same sentence like this:
This printer is! 
****
Words used in this episode.
This: ēnاین
That:  ān آن
Is: ast است
Printer: Perēnter پرینتر
Phone: Mo'bile موبایل
Speaker: Es'Pēker اسپیکر
Mouse: Maw's مأوس
Door: Dar در

I hope you've enjoyed the first episode.
Best regards, 
Mahdi

Title: "Mastering Fluency: How to Keep the English Learning Honeymoon Phase Alive"

Comment utiliser "en" et "y" que nous utilisons très souvent en français ?

"En" et "y"

Celebrar lo que la Real Academia Española define como "tristeza melancólica originada por el recuerdo de una dicha perdida", parece bastante contradictorio. Sin embargo, está muy lejos de ser una festividad triste. De hecho, es una de las noches más divertidas y esperadas del año, donde la música y los recuerdos del pasado se convierten en protagonistas.

En este primer episodio de "¡Mirá Vos!" con Victoria y Martin, te contamos todo lo que querés saber sobre esta tradición tan única. ¿Qué es La Noche de la Nostalgia? ¿Cuándo y cómo se celebra? ¿Qué cosas les generan nostalgia a los uruguayos? ¿Por qué es tan especial para nosotros? Además, les compartimos algunos de temones (grandes éxitos musicales) que marcaron generaciones.

Espero que lo disfruten mucho y si quieren aprender más sobre el español y la cultura rioplatense, suscríbanse al podcast para no perderse de nuestros futuros episodios.

¡Mirá Vos!

最近、中華鍋を買いました。中華鍋とは炒め物を作ることができる鍋のことです。
私は今までフライパンで炒め物をしていましたが、私のフライパンは浅いので、材料がこぼれ落ちることがありました。
でもこの中華鍋を買ってからは、材料がこぼれ落ちなくなり、炒め物を作りやすくなりました。

私の家の近くには中華料理のレストランがありません。
だからいつもYoutubeやインターネットでレシピを探して自分で作っています。
材料があれば、自分で作った方が安いし、おいしいです。
ちなみに日本人は家で中華料理をよく作りますが、中華鍋を持っている人はあまりいないと思
います。
みなさんは家で中華料理を作りますか？
中華鍋を持っていますか？
おすすめの中華料理のレシピはありますか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。


炒め物：いためもの　stir fly
材料：ざいりょう　ingredient
こぼれ落ちる：spill out of
深い：ふかい　deep
浅い：あさい　shallow
