Speak Lesson 8 | How to Talk About Your Likes and Dislikes

In this Persian (Farsi) lesson, you learn to talk about your
likes and dislikes. Also, we will be learning the Persian sound
‘gh’. There are two sounds in the Persian language that you don't
hear in English. The first is the sound 'kh' heard in words such
as 'khoobam'- we went over this in Lesson 1. The second is the
sound 'gh' which we'll be going over in this lesson. We learn it
specifically to learn the word for music, or museeghee in
Persian. The phrases covered in this lesson will allow you to say
whether or not you: like your job like chocolate like nature like
sports like music Or, whether you like specific figures such as
Charlie Chaplin. In order to learn how to say that you like a
specific person, we have to learn about the 'direct object
marker', the sound rā which has no direct translation in the
English language. We also go over talking about what you like to
do. The phrases we learn with regard to this are: 


I like to watch movies

I like to read books

I like to exercise

I like to eat chocolate

I like to learn Persian



We also learn to speak about these in the negative sense, and say
that we don't like to do certain things.
