[00:39.77] ♪

[00:40.28] Saberian: You’re welcome!

[00:41.52] Meysam: I heard you know three languages. Is that right?

[00:44.03] Mr. Saberian: Well, actually four languages.

[00:48.03] Meysam: Four! Really?! What languages do you know?

[00:51.28] Mr. Saberian: Besides my mother tongue, Persian, I know English, French and Russian well.

[00:56.78] Meysam: Interesting! And when did you learn them?

[01:00.02] Mr. Saberian: I began learning English at school when I was thirteen. Then I began learning French in a language institute when I was fifteen. And I learned Russian when I was a university student in Moscow.

[01:14.03] Meysam: Can you use all of them fluently? Mr. Saberian: I know all of them well, but I use English more.

[01:17.28] Meysam: OK. Do you think language learning should start as early as possible?

[01:25.53] Mr. Saberian: My experience says interest and hard work are really more important than age.

[01:30.78] Meysam: Hmm… that’s an important point. May I know what your favorite language is? English, French, or Russian?

[01:36.27] Mr. Saberian: To be honest, I enjoy using them all, but my favorite language is absolutely my mother tongue!
