In this episode, we will be discussing some of the differences between informal and formal Farsi, and we'll go through some examples of  each one.  We will focus on  the nuances of the Farsi language and learn how to communicate more effectively . In addition to the podcast, I have attached a Google Doc with further information and examples for listeners to study and practice.

確か前回、東北へ行こうって話してたんですが、最近、栃木（とちぎ）県の日光（にっこう）へ旅行したので、そっちになりました。そもそもが、私、関西出身なんで、関東の北の方がどうなってるのか、さっぱりわかっていませんでした。でも、行けばわかるんだよなあ、うん。栃木は群馬（ぐんま）の右、埼玉（さいたま）の上！…だけじゃなくて、実際に食べたおいしい物の話なんかしてます。日光は世界遺産（せかいいさん World Heritage)だけじゃないよ！

"The Mouse and the Snake" is a short story by David Sedaris that explores themes of fear, vulnerability, and the unexpected connections between strangers. In the story, Sedaris recounts an incident from his childhood when he found a dead mouse in his family's pool. Initially repulsed, he decides to dispose of it by throwing it over the fence into a neighbor's yard. However, when he goes to retrieve it later, he discovers that a snake has coiled itself around the mouse, preparing to eat it.
