Negative Positive
Title: Not recommended unless you know the Persian alphabet.
Review: This book was required text for a beginning Persian class, and not a single person in the class liked it. While its lessons are geared for beginners, and the step by step approach to sentence building was good, the lack of translation into Roman characters makes it nearly incomprehensible unless you've had exposure to Persian characters. Even after I started understanding the characters, the printing in this book is so small that you practically need a magnifying class to be able to understand what you're seeing. This is not a good stand-alone book if you want to learn Persian.
