Helpful sentences and idioms in English and Persian

I recently found a  lot of Instagram pages that publish helpful phrases and idioms in English. Since it is almost impossible to find something we need and do not remember, I decided to collect and publish them in a searchable table here. The table inside this page is not suitable for mobile, Please view it on a PC. This is my third year living in Australia, and every day I feel more than yesterday that I should speak English the way people do here, not how I learned them before. I will check each of these phrases with my Australian friends and identify common in Australia. In addition, a free picture dictionary site in 4 languages is available for free

Interchange Shoalhaven

Interchange Shoalhaven and Me

Today, I went to Interchange Shoalhaven (a not for profit, non-government, community-based organisation) for the 3rd time. Their office location is at 37 Holloway Road, East Nowra. Today I had the chance to visit their influential team members, and then I start to analyse their website and social media current status. In a 1-hour meeting with their IT person, we set some goals for the next two months. I understood that they had done a lot of valuable jobs, and we should do some more tasks before 2020 starts. Some tasks like Increasing their site rank with SEO Decreasing their website Alexa rank to 1 million Creating some back-link to the website Doubling the Facebook page fans and followers Doubling

Princes Highway

I travel whether walking or driving

When I arrived in Australia, It took one week to adopt my mind with this truth that people drive in the correct direction, and they are not criminals. Here, the cars steering wheel is in the right, and the cars drive on the left side of the streets. When I ride a taxi for the first time, I was pushing the brake pedal. I expected to have a car crash anytime. Step by step, my mind adapted itself to new rules, and now, I think I am ready to drive again. It is the truth but funny that I should face an 18-year challenge in 44. I should take another driving license! Before coming to Australia, I read that I

south-earth

Southern hemisphere and new experiences

We came to the southern hemisphere of the earth, where I was showing it on  the geographical sphere in my childhood and was asking, “The people here do not fall?” Here, not only people don’t fall, but also the sun in the north in the noon isn’t an important issue. Here the steering wheel of the cars is in the right, and sometimes, as usual, when I want to pass the street I look at the left side, while the danger is on the right! Here is a paradise for birds, wherever you can find many birds. Many of these birds are new to me, so I am busy by bird watching and enjoying the city. Everything here runs slowly

non-smoking cafes

Non-Smoking Cafes

However smoking in cafes and restaurants is forbidden in Iran, but still, there are many coffee shops and cafes that you can find an ashtray on their tables. This means they let their customers smoke there! Some cafes have individual parts for smokers; smokers are allowed to smoke there. But I am talking about non-smoking cafes, the lovely places that you can enjoy coffee and cocoa smell instead of the annoying smell of cigarette. As some people use the lovely FourSquare software on their mobile phone, so I  have created an editable list of non-smoking cafes in Iran there. Please, kindly visit it and add the non-smoking cafe. http://nonsmoking.cafe Your help will be appreciated with the pleasant smell of cakes,

Team Photo Blog – MycamTalks

Yesterday I installed WP on MyCamTalks.com  (a team photo blog in English and Persian). I  also uploaded some photos and their description for the test. Javaneh Azimi and I have created this photoblog to have better communication with people all around the world. We strongly believe that Instagram and other social media cannot cover our needs. However, we will continue to upload and share our contents on other apps, but complete contents and large-size photos will only be uploaded to this site. We (current and future website members) will upload daily photos there, there is no limitation about the subjects and location of pictures, but the members will take pictures. So you should expect many original photos there. loading Products…

Silent Mode

There are some days and some time that you have many ideas in your mind and like to do them, but you are too busy with daily tasks and you can not. Maybe you find some free time, but your mind is not enough to calm to think. It seems that you are like a Formula One car in a race that even in checkpoints, you are not allowed to turn off your engine. BUT some time there is no way except to say “go to hell” and no matter what will be happened then! You need to silent I have some big ideas, and now I want to go on a trip and spend my time with my family

Antonov-an-140 or Iran-140 Flying Coffin

Flying Coffin Today another passenger plane crashed in Tehran, Iran, near ،Tehran Mehrabad Airport. I wonder why Iranian people should ride these flying coffins. In the last 25 years, more than 200 air accident has happened in Iran. Sanctions and mismanagement are the two main reasons that caused 2000 people to lose their life. Iran-140 or Antovov-an-140 is originally from Ukraine and is assembled in Iran You can find Mehrabad Airport on the map: [osm_map_v3 map_center=”35.691,51.306″ zoom=”13″ width=”100%” height=”450″ ] loading Products…

Facebook Addiction

Addiction was a strange word for me because I had never smoked, even a cigarette. So I had never had any recurrent habits. One day I understood that I was doing something strange! I was in an Internet-related kind of addiction. I was addicted to Facebook and used to log into the site many times a day. Facebook is one of the best and most attractive virtual communities I have ever been part of. Many applications, well-designed friend-finder section, unlimited information for better users’ privacy are some of its important features. The site’s applications are fantastic and developers are even allowed to create new applications of their own. The funniest application that I enjoy a lot is sending “Hale Hoole”

Birthday Gift

Yesterday I stayed in the office up to 8:30 pm. When I decided to leave the office, I understood that the apartment manager was absent and the main door and car parking door were locked! I called the number that he had given me for emergency issues, but no one was at the phone! I was in the middle of a huge problem. Suddenly I saw a man smoking out, on the sidewalk, I knocked on the window, but he did not hear me! I beat harder, he saw me and came near the window. I asked him to inform the restaurant manager in our neighbourhood, he did, and after seconds, the restaurant manager was there! He told me that
