This is a book for reference and revision, especially for those in the early stages of studying the Persian language. It uses the official reformed spelling, and gives attention to handwriting, educated standard and educated colloquial pronunciation, and the important polite forms. The grammar is explained with copious examples, all shown both in Persian script and in Roman transliteration. The grammatical themes are grouped logically, and there are cross-references, appendices and a subject index to facilitate the search for the right form.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 7 October 2011

An easy to use layout with chapters covering verbs, syntax, word building and what I thought was particularly unique handwritten words under the "Writing" chapter. This is useful when you start writing by hand or read someone else's writing.

I bought this along with Teach Yourself Modern Persian Complete Course Package [With Book] (Teach Yourself Language Complete Courses) and Persian-English English-Persian Learner's Dictionary . There is some overlap but overall I think the books complement each other.

Persian Grammar - John Mace

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 18 April 2007

I bought Mace's Persian Grammar primarily because I'd been able to use the "look inside" feature to see how the material was presented. I think it is excellently presented. The cross referencing makes finding particular grammar points very easy. There is also a consistency of presentation, which many similar books lack. Each subject is treated as a standalone, so the reader does not have to start at page 1 to understand what's on page 125 etc. It goes deeper into Persian grammar than, for example, the Teach Yourself Modern Persian, but does so without becoming lost in the minutiae and the exceptions that tend to prevail in grammar books. I thoroughly recommend this book to ab initio Persian students.
