In this episode, we're gonna learn a tale of a fisherman and a journalist. When you listen to this story, please take this question in your mind: why does Mr. Yang not want to donate his car? 

The Fisherman

一个晴朗的下午, 杨先生开着车去钓鱼。

在他准备钓鱼的时候,一个摄影师和一个记者走到了他的身边。

记者问他,“对不起, 先生。打扰您一下。”
我们是电视台的。想采访您一下, 行吗?”
☆电视台:  a television station  采访: interview 

“嗯。”
"Sure".

“您贵姓啊?”

  “姓杨。”

"噢, 杨先生, 您看着镜头。"
 ☆看镜头: look at the camera.

”嗯”。

“杨先生, 我们想问您, 如果您有一百万, 您愿意捐给那些需要帮助的人吗?
☆捐: donate

杨先生低头想了一会儿, 然后抬头看着记者说,“都捐了啊?”
☆低头: lowered his head   ☆抬头: lifted his head up 

“您看着镜头。”

“诶诶。”

 “对, 都捐了。”

  “愿意。”
  
  “您有一千万呢?”

   "愿意。”

“您有一个亿呢?”

“十个亿都行。”

“那您如果有一辆汽车, 您愿意捐给别人吗?”

杨先生看了一眼他的车, 然后对着记者摆了摆手表示不愿意。
☆摆了摆手: shook his hand

“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?”

“因为我真有一辆汽车。”

Jag har massa tankar om mellanförskap, om att återvända till Sverige, beskriver mina känslor kring detta och hur det känns. Pratar om min upplevelse av att ha bott i Sverige 25 år.

Jag är riktigt nervös för att återvända med också taggad och redo att möta allt som hänt under mina första 25 år i Sverige. Jag pratar om att jag inte känner mig ett dugg australiensk men att jag tänker att dessa känslor kanske uppstår i Sverige. Tack för att ni lyssnar och hoppas det hjälper någon med svenskan.

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.
