Speak Lesson 69 | Sports (Vocabulary Sprint)

This Persian (Farsi) lesson is all about the wonderful words of
sports- or varzesh in Persian. Varzesh literally
means physical exercise, but it's the word used for sports as
well. Many of the words for different sports in the Persian
language come directly from the western word, but some of them
are different. The most common sport in Iran (and in many, many
parts of the world) is soccer, which in Persian is
footbāl. The sport we know of as 'football' in
the United States is called footbāl āmrikāyee
(American football) in Persian. Listen to the full lesson in
order to learn the words for many team and individual sports.
