Review title: for learning script, not for speaking, no pronunciation help!
Product review: This book focuses on teaching the script, and gives absolutely no help with pronunciation, which is the hardest thing about learning farsi for "total beginners." There are no dictionary pronunciation symbols or similar sounding words as examples -- I mean, really, NO PRONUNCIATION HELP AT ALL. You need to have a persian friend sitting with you, teaching you pronunciation as you go through this book, otherwise you will be laughed at when you try to speak. the book says it has "pronunciation tips," but they don't exist. the authors should look at a dictionary to see how pronunciation is conveyed in text.
