How Learning a Language Impacts One's Identity (Persian Conversation Between Non-Native Speakers)
A Mexican, an American, a Swede, and a Korean talk about how learning Persian impacted their identity
Does learning the Persian language impact one's identity and character? In today's video, we find out by talking to four individuals who have learned to speak Persian, and adopted certain cultural elements in the process. I am joined by Noori, from South Korea, Claire, from the United States who is of Belgian descent, Anton, from Sweden, and Alfredo, from the United States who is of Mexican and Salvadoran descent, as I ask about them about the impact of learning Persian on their identity, as well as a series of other questions
آیا یادگیری زبان فارسی بر هویت و شخصیت فرد تأثیر می گذارد؟ در ویدیوی امروز با نوری از کره جنوبی، کلر از آمریکا که اصالتا بلژیکیه، آنتون از سوئد و آلفردو از آمریکا که اصالتاً مکزیکی و سالوادوریه در مورد این موضوع صحبت می کنم

The Persian language has many different accents and dialects, spoken primarily in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan, a significant percentage of the population in Uzbekistan, as well as by minorities who are native to other countries across Central Asia, the Middle East, South Asia, and the Caucasus. Although some people consider "Farsi" to be the term for the Iranian variety, the fact is that "Farsi" or "Parsi" is the endonym for the Persian language, and the term is natively used to refer to the language among all Persian speakers, not only Iranians. The terms "Dari" and "Tajik" are more often used by non-Persian speakers than Persian speakers themselves, who, regardless of their country, use the endonym Farsi or Parsi when speaking their language.
When talking about the Tajik variety of Persian, and the Persian language in Central Asia, it's vital to mention the Samanids (سامانیان), an empire that was established by the descendants of Saman Khoda, a wealthy Iranian Zoroastrian noble who converted to Islam. The Samanid Empire is part of the Iranian Intermezzo, which saw the creation of a Persianate culture and identity that brought the Persian language and traditions into the fold of the Islamic world. Ferdowsi and Rudaki were both born and lived during the Samanian era. Ferdowsi died after the collapse of the Samanian under the Ghaznavids, while Rudaki lived his whole life under the Samanids. Samanids revived the Persian language and culture more than the Buyids and the Saffarids, and despite being Sunni Muslims, they considered themselves to be descendants of the Sasanian Empire and took pride in having Zoroastrian ancestors. During the Samanid era in the 9th and 10th centuries, there was a large amount of growth in Persian literature, mostly in poetry, which expanded across Central Asia.
The Persian language is classified as one of the Western Iranian languages, and has strongly influenced many different languages, including numerous Turkic languages, as well as well as Armenian, Georgian, and many languages in the Indian subcontinent.

Seeing the reach of non Persian speakers learning Persian is such a beautiful thing to hear, I'm just jealous of how much better they speak than me 🤣 all jokes aside, just goes to show that despite world affairs, language really encompasses how it brings humanity together, love and respect to any Persian speaker 🙏
چقدر همه‌تون نازنین و دوست‌داشتنی هستید و چقدر قشنگ فارسی رو یاد گرفتید! راستش اشک منو درآوردید

I can't speak to learning Persian because I haven't learned it (yet, anyway; maybe in the future), but I completely agree that having a language in common can open so many doors. I know I've mentioned my own journey with Finnish a lot, but it has truly had a profound effect on me, and I like to believe it's for the better.
چقدر جالبه این علاقمندی ملل مختلف نشان از دنیای کوچک ما و اشتراکات زیاد ما خبر میده💐💐💐
I have never seen Bahador speak a language other than English . I dont know why i am surprised to see him speak Persian.....though i knew he is Iranian originally haha
Wow I'm still watching the video but I'm amazed by their Persian accent. Truly amazing conversation. درود بر همه دوستان از شنیدن گفت و گوی شما بسیار لذت بردم و امیدوارم که در آینده نه چندان دور بتوانیم با کمک افرادی مانند شما فرهنگ و ادب پارسی را بیشتر به جهان معرفی کنیم. چون شکر:شیرین و،چون گوهر:زبان پارسی ست فارسی،فرهنگ و آیین و نشان پارسی ست آنچه از توفان و از باران نمی یابد گزند کاخ فردوسی،خدای شاعران پارسی ست پیروز و پاینده باشید 🪻💐🌹✨👌
درود بر همه پارسی زبانان شیرین سخن ❤❤❤
Very happy for you guys to decide to speak Farsi , as an Iranian makes me happy to see other nations taking interest, 🙏
This Swedish friend is a very good and smart person. He already knows his native language and speaks English. However, at such a young age, in addition to Persian, he also speaks Turkish of Turkiye and Azerbaijani languages. I do not know if he knows any other languages. I really appreciate and respect him. I send him great greetings and love from Azerbaijan. 🇦🇿🇸🇪

@@babak-aram6689 Even if I don't know Persian, I can see how well he speaks Persian. Он большой молодец. I am an Azerbaijani from the Republic of Azerbaijan. Greetings to you. I know 3 languages myself, not counting my native Azerbaijani, and also very similar to my native, Turkish. My second native language is Russian. And despite the fact that the Turkic language group differs from the Indo-European one, and I think it is more difficult for him to learn it, but at the same time he has learned everything well. Perhaps he knows other languages as well. He did a great job at such a young age. Мир вашему дому.

I loved every moment of this video. I am an Afghan American and one of grandmothers was from Iran, so I am familiar with different Farsi accents. I am amazed at how well you all speak; can communicate minute and complex feelings/emotions. I appreciate all of your collective efforts into learning Farsi. I agree in that having a common language brings people together, forms bonds of empathy, understanding and respect while at the same time enhancing our individuality and humanity. Thank you all🥰

Goodness the Swedish guy nailed the accent, hard to believe he's been learning for only 4 years.
These people give me hope for humanity, on this divided war driven and violent world.

What is the point when he promote Persian language, but he stands against Shi'a despite coming from the line of ulama?
Very interesting video and conversation ladies and gentlemen. Alfredo is a personal friend of mine and I know he is a dedicated and persistent Farsi speaker. I also agree with everyone here regarding that languages brings us all together and improves international relations. I am from Hungary but live in the USA. I am been learning Chinese for 14 years and understand how knowing a language and culture makes us happy and we are appreciated by the native speakers.
You are doing such excellent work here
My view, the Swedish Gentleman speaks accent free. If you don't see his face ,,like on telephone, you can't never know that he is not Irania . Others are also super, especially the Corian Lady. She is so right with Molana's poems.
Someone who was learning Persian one time he told me that he wasn't feeling well since "Emrooz khoon daadam!" of course he pronounce the "kh" as k!

Can you please invite someone from Afghanistan who is Hazara and can speak Hazaragi( a variation of Dari language) accent. It is such a sweet accent. People would love it for sure!
نوری خیلی قشنگ مولانارو توصیف کرد❤مولانا همه ادمای دنیارو جذب میکنه
The part about cursing in Farsi when driving got me 😂😂😂
I think it is very good to listen to a good music and dance with family and friends at the gatherings, in cold weather also helps to keep warm. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Good to know about Persian speakers from Mexico, USA, Sweden and South Korea
فارسی همه شون خوبه و جالب اون خانمی که فارسی با گویش افغانی صحبت مبکنه که واقعا دیدنیه 👏👏آقای مکزیکی واقعا خوب حرف میزنن👏👏 از همه سپاسگزارم که زبان فارسی رو دوست دارن🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹

"I have known Persian for over forty years. Of course, I didn't make any effort to learn this language, but I learned it very well. Because when I was born, everyone around me spoke Persian, and everyone spoke the same language in the community, school, military, and so on. So I don't know how I learned Persian at all. It was a very interesting program, so thank you."
this was awesome
Awsom it's wonderful job
آلفردو که از من ایرانی تره! خیلی باحالی آلفردو اون دوست سوئدی چقدر شیک و محترمانه صحبت می کنه. من پام دراز بود، وقتی شروع به صحبت کرد ناخودآگاه پام رو جمع کردم 😊 زبان شاید مهمترین فرق ما با سایر حیوانات هست. هر کس فارسی یاد بگیره انگار که داره روح فلات ایران رو به وجودش وارد می کنه.

Message to new Iranian friends: Dear Alfredo! The mistake between "K" and "G" is very common. I am glad that your wife realized this mistake. Dear Anton! I have lived in Sweden since forty years and I know that most of the Swedes, enjoy learning immigrant's culture. Every time I go to Iranian restaurants in Gothenburg, there are more Swedes than Iranians. Even in Chahar Shanbe Soori celebration, more participants are Swedes than Iranians, and this is the only good thing that mulla regime caused for forty-five years, because they made 8 million Iranians to immigrate, and they also gave their own celebrations as souvenirs to the host countries. I have a Swedish Daughter-in Law now and I hope to get a Swedish Son-of Law as well. Dear Noori! I am so happy that you learned Farsi so well that you translated Molvi's poems. Something that maybe many Iranians are not able to do or have not done. And in the end, unfortunately, I didn't hear the name of the American lady very well, but I am happy that she also spends time on Afghan culture and language, and surely familiarity with Afghan language and culture will make her familiar with Persian culture as well, because we have the same roots and a common history. At the end, a message to Bahadur who made a unique initiative and his clip was very attractive. Thank you all and we hope to gather in free Iran of tomorrow. be happy. پیام به دوستان جدید ایرانی: آلفردو عزیز! اشتباه بین «ق» و «گ» خیلی معمولی ست. خوشحالم که همسرت متوجه این اشتباه شد. آنتون گرامی! من چهل سال در سوئد زندگی کردم و میدونم که اکثر سوئدی ها که بخاطر فرهنگ خودشون یا شاید هم سردی هوای سوئد، کمتر اهل دور همی بودند، با دیدن مهاجران و آشنائی با فرهنگ شون، از این کار لذت می برن. من هربار به رستوران های ایرانی در یوتبوری میرم، تعداد سوئدی ها بیشتر از ایرانی هاست. حتا در جشن چهارشنبه سوری هم بیشتر شرکت کنندگان سوئدی هستن تا ایرانی و این تنها خاصیت رژیمی ست که چهل و پنج سال بر ایران حکومت کرده که باعث مهاجرت ۸ میلیون ایرانی شده و اونها هم جشن های خودشون رو به کشورهای میزبان سوغات دادن. من هم الان عروس سوئدی دارم و امیدوارم داماد سوئدی هم بگیرم. نوری عزیز! چقدر خوشحالم که فارسی رو آنقدر خوب یاد گرفتی که اشعار مولوی رو ترجمه کردی. چیزی که شاید خیلی از ایرانی ها هم زیاد نخوندن و آشنا نیستن. و در پایان متاسفانه نام بانوی آمریکائی رو خوب نشنیدم ولی خوشحالم که ایشان هم روی فرهنگ و زبان افغان وقت میذارن و حتما آشنائی با زبان و فرهنگ افغان باعث میشه با فرهنگ فارسی هم آشنا بشن چون ریشه یکی ست و تاریخ مشترک داریم. در پایان پیام به بهادر که ابتکار بی نظیری کرد و بسیار جذاب بود کلیپش. سپاس از همگی و به امید جمع شدن همه ما در ایران آزاد فردا. شاد باشید.
عاشق حرف زدن با کسانی هستم که فارسی زبان اصلیشون نیست عالی بود ویدیو

Our Swedish and Mexican friends learned Persian very well. I really enjoyed it 😅😅 but I think that Mexican should have improved more, I expected more from him 😅😅😅 Because he said that he has been studying for 15 years.
