Product Description
Product Description
The increasing popularity of the study of Persian (also known as Farsi, Tajiki or Dari) in the English speaking world, has created a need for a bi-directional Persian-English dictionary geared towards English speakers who are learning Persian. The features of the "Persian-English / English-Persian Learner's Dictionary" which make it unique are - Bi-directional: this is the first and only Persian-English/English-Persian dictionary in one volume which features both Persian and transliteration. Alphabet: the alphabet used in Persian is completely different from the English. This can be a major barrier in the early stages of learning the language. This dictionary provides a simple transliteration of the Persian word along with its equivalent in the Persian alphabet. Alphabetical order: in this dictionary, the alphabetical order in the Persian-English section is based on the English spelling. This makes it easy for the user who is not familiar with the Persian alphabet to find a word. Correct use of words: this dictionary gives synonyms in various contexts allowing the student to easily choose the correct meaning. Entries: approximately 18,000 entries covering both day-to-day and more specialised vocabulary. The audience for this dictionary is: English speaking students of Persian; English speakers who are seeking to communicate with Persian speakers; children of Iranians, Afghans and Tajiks outside their homeland who wish to learn their mother language; and Persian speakers who wish to learn English.

This dictionary is exactly as described. It has a good basic vocabulary for a learner in it and persian pronunciation of the persian words in english writing (transliteration). This feature is crutial as without help it is difficult to pronounce the persian words correctly due to the lack of signs for most of vowels in persian language.
I have been looking for a long time now and this is the first dictionary I have found that has trasliteration in it.
I would highly recomend this dictionary.

This is a rather basic dictionary - just a list of words E-P/P-E with no idioms or usage help. The P-E side is listed alphabetically under the pronunciation so if you see a word in P script it might cause a problem figuring out the vowels correctly in order to look it up. It's a learner's dictionary, as it says, so it's a fair start but it's too limited to serve for very long.

It is a good book, although it is a little difficult for me to accustom. I mean in the part persian-english, the auther put the persian words in the order of English spelling. Anyway, it is OK.And I want to say if you are not a native english speaker,
you need to think twice before you buy this book.
