    Thats great your dad spoke Farsi with you. Unfortunately, many Iranian families overseas stopped speaking Farsi with their kids and the kids cant speak Farsi. Each language brings strength for you.
  • @SunriseWaterLily
    I'm Persian-Japanese too! (Live in Germany) My father's story coming to Japan is similar to your fathers Parisa.
  • @arashi1ryoma1

  • @arlofs

  • @lotus6344
    As an iranian, most persian thing i can see in her is her sense of humor 😀
  • @user-er4uz9rf9g
    She is just so beautiful in so many ways, physically and personality ❤

    Hi Max, I' m Persian- American. I came across this video. It was great watching your video and meeting Parisa and learning about her experiences as a Japanese-Iranian. It is amazing that she speaks English and Farsi so beautifully.
  • @TmO2O21
    More Persian mix please 😀
  • @paulacon28
    I’m from Bogotá, Colombia🇨🇴 To me she looks like she’s from my city!! So many girls in Bogotá have very similar characteristics like hers, a couple of my cousins included. Great video!
  • @saldon56
    I'm half Japanese, half Persian Argentinian, and went to Japanese school during primary & jr. high. Besides those 10 years total, I lived & grew up overseas (US&UK). After listening to her English & Japanese, and based on her long educational background in Japanese school, I honestly think her 1st language is Japanese.
  • @nine7295
    Her English is very good considered she only spent 5 years in the US, and grew up in Japan (and not having English spoken at home). Respect! (Spoken as an international student in the US in the past, so i know this very well.)
