Dear friends,
I have uploaded a collection of my movies onto a separate channel.
🎥 https://t.me/movies_with_subs
All the movies are small in size and have subtitles for your language learning benefit.
The genre is mostly comedy and drama - anything that can increase your understanding of the world and all the beautiful cultures in it!
Enjoy! 🤠

#47 Know Your World: The last Zoroastrians of 🇮🇷Iran
▶️ As several countries are celebrating Navruz we may ask ourselves where this celebration comes from. The origin of it is actually the ancient religion of Zoroastrianism, the first monotheistic religion (=a religion with only one god). There are only very few Zoroastrians left in the world today. Learn more about their small community in Iran.

#142 Our favourite mistakes: Vocabulary
▶️ Please translate the following sentence:
Men yaqinda chet elga chiqaman.
❌ Perhaps you think it is:
I will recently go to abroad.
I will soon go abroad.
❓Why?
❗️ Recently refers only to the past, not the future. The Uzbek word yaqinda can be translated as either recently (in the past) or soon (in the future).
❗️ The word abroad is an adverb and doesn’t need a preposition, just like home.
