I'm really happy to be joined in this video by Mona Morshed. She's an English teacher from Iran, now living in the UK.

We cover a few topics including culture comparisons from Iran and the UK, and end the video with common English words that come from Persian.

What do you think of this video? Do you have any more questions for Mona? Give us a reason to make a part 2!
