Speak Lesson 5 | How to Talk About Your Family, and Introduce Their Names

In this Persian (Farsi) lesson, we learn the words for members of
your immediate family, and learn how to introduce your family
members to other people. We finish off the lesson by learning how
to introduce the names of your family members to others. We begin
by learning the vocabulary words for several key members of the
family in Persian. As you know, family is very important in the
Persian culture, so these vocabulary words wll be more useful to
you than you could imagine. The words learned in this part of the
lesson include:


brother

sister

mother

father

daughter

son

husband

wife   



In the Persian culture, family is extremely important, and there
are many many more words for specific family members than there
are in English. For this reason, we'll leave the vocabulary words
(yes, there are multiple multiple words) for cousin, aunt and
uncle to a different lesson. We also learn how to talk about a
direct relative of yours by saying phrases such as:


my mother

my son

my daughter

This is my ____________



We finish off the lesson by learning how to introduce the names
of family members.
