Bonus - The Protest Song "Barayeh"
Dear listener, as you are likely aware, protestors in Iran are demanding the government respect their fundamental rights to self-expression and freedom. The government responded to their demands with a violent crackdown.
Instead of a regular episode, we discuss the protests through Shervin Hajipour's song Barayeh.
The song reflects the frustrations of many young people living in Iran whose wishes are suppressed by their government.
We discuss some new vocabulary, interesting idioms, and include some short grammar lessons about forming nouns from adjectives.
