When learning a language I'm mostly motivated by an interest in the history and culture. Persian is no exception. Right now I'm listening to a podcast in Persian about Iranian identity.
0:00 The content I am currently enjoying in Persian.
2:21 Being able to read about history and culture in my target language is a reward to me.
3:55 The fascinating history of Persian identity.
11:26 Iran has the strongest sense of national identity of the Middle Eastern countries.

Thank you so much 😊
You just remind me that I was supposed to send you an email, I'll see what you got here first.
Glad to see you doing well.
Thank you Steve.
Excuse me sir , but your map of Iranian ethnics was so British 😂 by the way you are right, Iranians have one of the oldest and most successful nationalistic movements called shau'ubiyya ❤
I started learning my 3rd language recently (Persian , English and now japanese) and I must say liking the culture behind the language is the best motivation to master it.
@sodegh persian is my first language xd
tip: it’s “3rd” because “thiRD”
@muhammadhassaan4339 I never read my comment so didn't notice it thanks.
hey do you learn persian online? Can you recommend soources
For me it's a mix of liking the sound of the language, and the culture, which makes the best motivation. I couldn't stick with a pretty language whose culture doesn't interest me (hence why I quit Arabic), nor would I want to learn a language with an interesting culture behind it, if I don't like the way the language sounds.
Poetry in the Persian language, specifically classic poetry, is the foundation, pillar, and roof of the Persian culture and Farsi language. Classic Persian poetry conveys all the wisdom, values, and ethics to the generations to come (Pillar). At the same time, it preserves the root vocabulary and grammar (Foundation and Roof). Linguistically, to be able to read and interpret Persian poems, one has ascended to a new level of linguistic appreciation and cultural understanding, delving into the rich tapestry of emotions and literary nuances woven into the verses. To put it in a different context, Persian poetry, much like Martial Arts, encompasses various forms derived from different styles and poets. In each poetic style, just as in Judo, Karate, or Kung Fu, there are different levels of proficiency. However, in Persian poems, the spectrum of proficiency is not that black and white, unlike in Martial Arts, where it is distinguished by colored belts, with the Black belt representing the highest level of mastery.

Persian language has been tainted because of islam they lost their original writing script, they lost some words because arabic was introduced in islam conquest original writing now is only used by farsi people of india who ran because of persecution
@@nx563 whenever I see something about persian, there is atleast one indian with these foolish claims! Ok dude we are arabs and you are pure... leave us alone! 😏
@@nx563 their words are still corrupted because of their proximity to other countries and being governed by them (e.g. past kingdoms of india). thus not original. like most languages. farsi btw kept their roots because of poets, mainly ferdowsi. do you have any sources to backup your claims btw?
Always lovely to listen to other polyglot fellows.
I’m 36, currently learning Persian too, which is the 11th language I’m learning (only totally fluent in 6 yet, though).
Just like you, it’s all about the cultural and human doors it opens. The reward is connecting with cultures and so many different people and discovering so many perspectives and ways of thinking. I’ve always been in love with learning languages. I remember going on holidays in Greece when I was 6 and at 5 and a half years old, I decided on my own to learn the whole « language » chapter in my mother’s traveling book. It was already such a joy for me to be the one ordering food and stuff for parents (who had no interest in learning the language).
I’d love to study Sumerian at some point, that would really be my biggest achievement 🙃
It would be lovely to have a chat about languages with you one day. How’s your Farsi going now?
Wishing you the best from France 😊
I am from Afghanistan 🇦🇫 Persian is also our language in Afghanistan and Tajikistan.
Hi from Iran. A little book recommendation: All the Shah's Men. It's about the events leading up to the revolution. I've read it twice. It's a fantastic book. موفق باشید
I'm learning now Farsi, started one year ago
عالیه🎉
بهت افتخار میکنم
Persian(farsi) is my favorite language.
Native Urdu speaker
My reasons to learn langs are pretty much the same, with the addition of interest with the culture's and lang's aesthetics. Once in Europe I was approached by an Iranian woman that asked if I was from Iran, according to her I really looked Iranian. I took it as a major compliment, even though I have no Iranian roots. Much love and support for Iran from a Brazilian.
Thank you so much, Gabriel; I'm Iranian, and your support means a lot to us.
I love learning multiple languages because learning a new subject is so much fun. I'm proud of myself when I have language skills 😂. Then I can use what I've learned before to have a conversation with the other person.
Hey ! Where are you from ?
سلام ,Hi im hamid from iran , nice to meet you sir , I m so happy help you for every thing for learnning pearsen languge. God bless you 🙏💐
So glad to see you interested in our culture and language. I hope you keep learning it and eventually start reading persian poetry!
موفق و سربلند باشید.
Steve is one my inspirations to become a linguist and make it part of my life! What a wonderful video!
try to learn first of all Persian Language and then try to learn how to be a good person in life through reading "Shahnameh" . viva Iran and its history ❤❤❤
You are totally right about one in five Iranians speaking Turkish. I have had many delightful conversations with Iranians due to learning both Persian and Turkish. Keep up the good work sir. You're truly an inspiration to us.
Not thru
Yeah also the same in Turkey
Kursd are almost the same with Persian❤
It’s not anywhere near 1 in 5. More like 5-10% speak a highly Persianized Turkish informally as a second language, in addition to native fluency in their native Persian. That is all.
hi i am iranian turk and approximetly 40 pircent of iranian's are turks
@@alinaderi_afshord9793 I am an Azari Iranian and no more than 8-9 million out of Irans 90 million population are Azari. Azaris are not Turks we are ethnic Iranians
Hi. As an Iranian I am glad that you found our language intresting. It's very great that you find out we have varieties of cultures and group of people. The only thing I want to add is that the history of Iran goes back to at least 10 thounds years ago and more. I recommend the book "The Lost World of Elam" by Walther Hinz so you can find the former origin of Iran and the connection between Iran and Mesopotamia.
The video was fantastic. Thank you.
I am glad I teach Persian language in my channel. 🎉
This was quite interesting. Thank you sir!!
Hi, Steve, at present Persian is also my target language and I agree with you about interest of the history. But also for me is very important the food, how they use it in the kitchen and how people spend the time in everyday activities.
Do you compare similarities and differences between languages when building your vocabulary? Thanks 😊 Tania
روز خوبی داشته باشید
interesting observation Mr. Kaufmann and very detailed, I just wanted to add my own personal experience the majority of Iranian regardless of their ethnic group identify primarily with their language, history, and ethnicity rather than religion ( which can be interesting cause most of middle eastern or south Asians identify with religion at first ), and each ethnic group has at least 500 years of history in Iran and many people are mixed so it is indeed a very diverse country
yes reading about the histories this area has now lead me to wanting to learn the language, its great Thankyou for your enthusiasm Steve
Brilliant and inspiring!
Learning a language reveals the assumptions that that culture has about the world, in the way that things are expressed, and the way that things are thought about. That is my experience. So it opens up new perspectives in a way that translations fail to do. Also, thanks for your enthusiasm!
Muchas gracias ☺️ por tu video steve kaufman
Yes, when I was at school, learning history there was a lot to learn of my own nation and world history. However I also used to read books fom the library on the history of a country that interested me as well as I enjoyed learning about this so much.
I am very interested in the language to interact with the people and also to learn about the culture and understand it more due to language ability.
Thank you for the interesting video on Persian. Different languages have different sounds and I am told Persian has a very poetic quality? This idea of sound is what also draws me to the target language that interests me. The English language I use here is very useful and has a large expressive vocabulary but it does not have many sounds I like to hear compared to other languages for example: Perhaps languages have different focuses on how they deliver communication?
I like also to explore the history and culture of other places by learning languages. History is also a motivation for me.
GREAT! MANY THANKS . Persian is extremelly difficult, especially writing. BRAVO!!!
I'm a persian speaker and i wish you good luck and a smooth journey on your path learning this language im trying to learn other iranic languages as well (Kurdish, mazandarani , luri, Balochi , etc.) good luck again :D
Hi Steve! Poetry is indeed important to our culture. I highly recommend this TH-cam channel called Persian Poetry. As the name suggests it's all about persian poetry and the videos have really good English subtitles as well.
I guess they need to learn our language before bombing us 😂
بسیارعالی موفق باشی برادر
I am very happy to see you learning Persian. I am Iranian and you inspired me in learning languages . I believed that everyone can learn many languages 😍
Great thanks 🙏
The picture is an Iranian area in Toronto, to be exact, that is on Yonge north of Finch.
My boyfriend made me fall in love with Persian
Sooo interesting , you into the history because of that you have passion to learn it , but I don’t still find what kind of information is fun a lot for me ، the same of your passion 🤔
Im from Iran speak farsi its realy fantactice you can enjoy during studying ❤❤
Persian is a fucking language because of its ugly script borrowed from Arabs.
Farsi is fairly easy to learn if you know one or more indo-european languages. The script for me was confusing at first but after that it gets really easy.
awesome!
Hello Sir, as an Iranian, I am proud of you and would love to meet you in the future
سلام آقا من به عنوان یک ایرانی به شما افتخار می کنم و دوست دارم در آینده با شما آشنا شوم
Persian is a most beautiful language in the world. so harmonic and soft ❤🎉
I'm envious. Wish I spoke many languages. I only speak fluent Farsi and English, and broken French.
I'm very glad when i see foreign people interested to learn Persian(Farsi).❤❤❤❤❤
Love from IRAN.
It’s great 👍
فارسی واقعا زبان قشنگیه
امیدوارم ازش لذت ببرین؛ مخصوصا از شعرهای فوقالعادمون 😌

It's so sad to see Steve getting visibly older. Take care of yourself man
After I learn the language for some time and open the doors of people, history and culture, I start to feel like I want to move the place. The thing is that to do that I need to endanger my work done in my home country and just go there. If I continue learning the language, culture, people (and music!), the feeling only grows stronger and I end up missing the place (like sometimes natives do) or thinking stronger about moving there.
It creates mixed feelings, because when I stop learning I regain the connection to my mother country and I gradually stop resenting my job and stop considering moving somewhere.
It may sound strange but I started to find language learning dangerous 😮. Do you have similar feelings? Do you maybe have any advise?
Obrigada !
Morning, Steve. Is it time to move west and study the languages of India? It would be great to have Hindi on LingQ. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge 😄
We are working on getting the mini-stories done to a suitable quality in Hindi and Punjabi or even Urdu. We do have Gujarati.
Yo quería una ayuda 😔 tú hablas español y português con acento.( Increíble 👏👏👏👏) como haces para conseguirlo.a mí me custa muchísimo hablar español sin acento de português 😞😞
incredible video
I have been under assumption that through culture and other factors such as art, history,.... you can cave into a language and have a chance of absorbing it
درود بر شما دوستداران زبان و فرهنگ پارسی
زبان فارسی بسیار زیباست ولی متاسفانه زیاد به این زبان اهمیت داده نمی شه
با سپاس از شما که راجب این زبان و فرهنگ زیبا ویدئو درست کردید
به امید دیدار شما دیوید کافمن عزیز در ایران زیبا

Hi Steve,
You used a very wrong map that I wrote about it in number 2 of my list below.
I'm so glad you are learning my mother tongue Persian. Believe me, It could be so exciting and too interesting for you. I hope you'll be successful in this way. Your video was impressive like ever, but I want to mention some things:
1: Persian is the first language in my country Iran(or Persia in the past). In different states in my country, each of them has its own internal dialect, In some regions, They have more than one dialect, But they almost use the Persian language in their daily life, not their own local dialect.
2: The most important thing is your map was completely wrong that you showed it at the minute of 13. The reason is, unfortunately, in my country we have a small separatist group whose name is "Pun-Turkish". They insist to show most Iranian people are Türk people (The people of Turkey country) or Azerbaijani Türk(the people of Azerbaijan country). It is completely wrong. Because in my country we have Turk, not Türk which means they are not the same people and language(there are a lot of similarities). We have Azari Turk, not Azerbaijani Türk. Azerbaijan is a small country in the north of Iran that has been separated from Armenia which has been separated from Persia. If you told Azerbaijani Turk on your map, That means Iranian Azerbaijani Turk, But Azerbaijani Türk means the people of Azerbaijan country, not Iran!
I know that is too stupid a thing, But I just want to mention it.
I wish you all the best and success in your way of learning any kind of language.
Best regards,
Amir Haghighi.
Hi Steve, thank you, nice stuff. However, I was wondering why on Doulingo, Persian people cannot practice learning other languages, particularly English. I mean based on the translation from Farsi to Engllish, you cannot learn English as a Persian speaker on Doulingo, which is such an off-putting experience for them. It's like Persian is not accepted as an official language there. Do you think there is anyway to add it to the app. Given this idea that who ever able to speak in English, would have the chance to learn Persian there, this new option would be a huge benefit for both sides. ❤
May Allah give you more energy and health.🙏
Steve, do you get a tutor from the beginning with a language or do you wait until you are pre-intermediate/intermediate?
I like to wait until I am a low intermediate, otherwise it's just a waste of time. I need words. I need a certain level of comprehension in order to have any kind of conversation. I don't need a tutor to explain the language, I can get then in many places. I don't need a tutor to correct me, since I will gradually make fewer mistakes, and corrections won't help much.
Best❤❤❤
2- The name Iran was changed by Pahlavi on demand of English a few years ago. The Romans and Greeks were Persians in the ancient era before Cyrus the Great.

The thing is i just poke around random things on google about western things, but i do find random things about japan even though i haven't learn japanese, kiss and hug to japan before i learn your languange.😘🇯🇵😂
グズグズするな！まだ若いうちに早く勉強しなさいよ！
What does it mean to "take control of my language learning" ?
Before Islam there were no Turk identity in Asia Minor today called Turkiye. They originally are from Central Asia and after Islam conquered the Emperor of Persia (Sassanids Dynasty) the North-Eastern neighbours of Iran (Turk Tribes) now and then invaded Iran territory and there are many wars in this region between them. Finally many of Turks Iranized and some of them established their govenrnments. The Most importnat of them are Seljuks (Saljughian) who settled in Asia The Minor and gradually established Ottoman Empire.
Steve how can i buy our book? Amazon has neither. Do you have a source. Many thanks, Rennie

スティーブさんは多聴を重要視してますが（多分、色々な動画を見てると多聴にかけてる時間の方が多いと感じる、スティーブさんが）LingQ のリスニングに対するコインの配布率が低すぎてリーディングを増やさないといけなくなります。スティーブさんの言う通りにリスニング中心にしてますが、あまりにも配布の差が大きいので、息子さんと考えて欲しいです！言語学習がTOEICの勉強をしてるときは苦痛でしたが今はリンクで楽しすぎます！リスニングに対する配布率の改善、考慮お願いします。テストのための勉強を昨日から完全にゼロにしましたら、余計に言語学習が楽しくなりました。2年間多読多聴を実験してみます。

It wasn't until I left university that it dawned on me that the Parthians were the Persians just by another slightly altered name

That's great. Can you send me an email steve@lingq.com. Thanks.
Wow
You should do research for Kurdish. The language is most beatiful language in the world.:,-)
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Iran is a big and beautiful country with a culture ancient. unfortunately, the Islamic Republic of mullahs and Islam are destroying Iran
The map of Iran shown at 10:50 hrs is not an accurate map. All provinces have a mix of people from different ethnicities. The persian coves a much wider area than this map is showing. Many of the non-persian named tribes are persian with some difference in the dialect spoken.
Good point. I don't do the editing of my videos. There are a variety of languages in Iran, and Persian is spoken in at least 3 countries.
😘🤩😍
Hi
I'm native Parisian and English learner
If any native English speaker wanna learn Parisian l am ready to exchange.
Dr. Jay Smith - Arabic.
Take the Arabic language and Islam from any nation in the Middle East, their identity weakens.
Take Islam and Arabic from Iran, its identity shines even more. Iran, from its early days, had a proto-secular, proto-humanistic, and nature-oriented (Nowruz, Yalda) culture and was a multi-cultural, multi-racial, and multi-lingual (on the administration level) country.
Truly a country (not just city-state civilizations that came before Iran). This multi-ness tied with human-loving and nature-loving art and poetry is the main identity. So soft, delicate, and diverse so that no invasion could break it. In fact, all invaders fell in love with it and introduced this culture to their home lands.
I'm persian❤

Good luck with learning persian, yas as u said persian poetry is really good, and it's intresting to know that at some point Mogul attacked the Persian Empire, and thay destroied and burned a lot of books by famous persian poets and philosophers.what we can find now as persian poetry and even philosophy is only half of the actual amount.I think Mogul eventually got tired of burning books and that's why thay decided to kill people so there would be no one left to read the rest of'em😄.

It is important to recognize the origin and mother of the Turkish language is Azei. Even the foundation of Russian and Chinese is Azeri. Yet it is not easy to know. This information is not written in books and academics know nothing about it.
Yet due to the population and situation of Turkey, even Azeri- Iranians themselves say they speak Turkish, but they are not very diverse in the history of the Azeri language. This makes me very edgy when they say that!

Yes, I am excited about the Arabs and the Arabic language and its impact on the languages of the world and the language of the Qur’an
من هم فارسی یاد گرفتم 😂😂😂
In Lord and my Master Jesus, Name, Amen.
Brief random information some with reference for your consideration.
Arabic doesn't have letter P hence this is why in Arab countries the Pepsi bottles reads Bibsi.
Also, this is why the Parsi language is written Farsi language better than being called Barsi Language.
Old Persian had 80 synonyms for the work love whereas Greek has 4 and English 1, Perhaps this should be considered zero because love as original word cannot be considered its own synonym). You can read all about that on page 8 of a book from Robert A Johnson titled Femininity Lost and Regained (the exact spelling of this title may be a bit different).
A higher number of synonyms for a word in a language indicate the importance of that word in the culture.
For example, Skimo's have 32 synonyms for snow and Arabs possibly have 8 synonyms for Camel. According to, again from Robert A Johnson, the route of Cheverly (chivalry?) is from Iran which then goes to Europe. Only that, in Iran the damsel didn't have to be a beautiful fair damsel so long as she was a female in need which is far different than the today’s Islamic Republic.
On another subject, Ottoman forces could have possibly conquered the entire Europe if Iranian Safavid Shia Sect hadn’t kept fighting against Ottoman forces from the east side. Our thanks to the Safavid Dynasty.

10:44 this map is very inaccurate. There aren't that much of Arabs and Turkmens in Iran. The northern part of the Persian gulf is mostly inhabited by Persians only Ahvaz and some islands in the south have Arabs
You describe it very well. Obviousley you enjoy studying on history of ancient empires. It makes me sad to say(although it's true) that Iran is being ruined by it's islamic gouvernement and there is almost nothing left of its greatness:)
After you finish to learn persian begin georgian :))))
congratulation..for good explanation.if you learn farsi you can arabic better because our alphabet is close
before islam we had some alphabets in diffrent dynasty or dabire avestaii or dabire ronik .in sasani empire they used some alphabet for per peoples and jobs and goverment but king was able to read all alphabtes..in fact iran is bigger than this country and persians but west peoples more used persia from greek dynasty .in iran were very civilizations but more problem is that our major cities that were capital detroyed tisfoon or basre and baghdad destroyed by arabs attack and nishabur and bokhara and samarkand destroyed by turks and mongols anmd very books lost in fires and in herat bokhara rei nishbur balkh tisfoon esfahan we had this bookstores that lost them..even iran name is in avest with iranwich word.and ferdoosi used iran in shahname 1000 years ago and sasanid kings used iranshahr (iran is a name for all peoples like caucausians turks azeri kurds lors persians tajiks baloch mazani gilaki and ...).we were in center and had very attacks from 4 corners and some of them like islam very effect on our culture and all things .more .because iran as a kingdom save silk road from china to anatoli and from persian gulf to esfahan to anatoli and had very source and rich rigions that arabs from south wwest and turks from north east wants conqur that rigions but iran had more relative to east asia and turks than arabs.after collaps sasanid persian empire they able to penetrating into the country..arabs could conqur some parts and after turkes could conqur some parts and for 200 years we were under lkhilafat that more was in baghdad and baghdad and iraq is persian words..in fact iranian had very resistance opposite the arabs khilafat and samanid tajiks kingdom and safarian sistani were first goverments that want back iran to farsi and old kingdom,babak and maziar and abo moslem khorasani were 3 of our hero.and ferdoosi to create shahname with poetry about old kindoms history ,,after that saljuk turks empire could ruled on all rigions from china to turkey they used farsi for their goverment and after that iran separate in other kingdoms saljuks built othman empire in turkey and they used farsi too..in iran after mongols attaks and timorid dynasty we had a new times for a national kingdoms that was safavid empire..safavid was azeri nd turks and that times monols gorkani were in india and othman empire in turkey that this 3 kingdoms used farsi for goverment...in fact after islam turks more try than persian to save and support farsi as a united language ..that you know speak farsi in pakistan and afghanistn and tajikestan and uzbekestan and kurdestan and iran and irag even india because sanskirit root is one with avesta and old persia. ..after gorkani english and ordo(close to farsi and some turki) develop in india and after ataturk they used latin..this borders around iran and neigbors country of middle east and middle asia more of them create by britain and russia and some of this borders is wrong and we had very problems.
achaemenids werent zoroastrian but mithra worshipers. all our national ceremonies such as norouz, shab cheleh etc is based on mithraism. this is our true identity. also middle east is a colonial term pls use west asia instead

REGARDING ARBIC COUNTRIES, THE MAJORITIES OVER 85% ARE NOT ARABS. FOR EXAMPLE IRAQ 80% ARE NOT ARABS, TUNISIA ONLY 4% ARE ARABS, BY THEY SPEAK ARABIC.
