| John: Listen again to بردیا (Bardiyaa)'s post. |
| Mehrnaz: و بالاخره والیبال ساحلی! (va belakhareh vaalibaal-e saahely) |
| John: "And finally beach volleyball." |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) و بالاخره والیبال ساحلی! (va belakhareh vaalibaal-e saahely) (Regular) و بالاخره والیبال ساحلی! (va belakhareh vaalibaal-e saahely) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "and finally." |

| John: Then comes the phrase - "beach volleyball." |
| Mehrnaz: والیبال ساحلی (vaalibal-e saahely) |
| John: The names of most Western sports in Iran are borrowed from English, with the same or a slightly different pronunciation. "Volleyball" is one of them. Listen again - "beach volleyball" is... |
| Mehrnaz: (SLOW) والیبال ساحلی (vaalibal-e saahely) |
| (REGULAR) والیبال ساحلی (vaalibal-e saahely) |
| John: All together, "And finally beach volleyball." |
