I have the previous edition of this book. It is ok - but this edition is much better. The type is cleared and slightly larger and the paper is lighter in color. This actually makes quite a difference when reading it. But the best part is that the vocabulary sections have been greatly increased. Many words are given in their base form and then slight variations are given directly below. For example, Saxt - saxti - be-saxti = difficult, difficulty, with difficulty. It also seems like more words have been added to the lists. All in all, I would say that the differences in this volume make it worth buying this edition even if you have a prior one. I wish that Routledge would do this same revision with some of the other Colloquial editions.
I liked how the material is presented. CD is extremely helpful. I had to buy CD separately. Enjoy studying by this book. I have a few different books tried them to see which one I like, and stayed with this one.It gives a colloquial pronunciation and many times spelling, which is different from the dictionary. For example "to know" is spelled دونستن , but they do explain that and give the literary spelling دانستن
Was extremely helpful to supplement the classroom and textbook learning with this DVD. Make it easier to begin to really 'hear' the spoken Farsi and try to pick out words in sentences and understand what is being said. Glad to have purchased it.
The book is quite easy for the eye, systematic layout enriched with drawings and photos related to the topic of the unit plus images to mark the different types of exercises, which sort of gives color and life to the all black and white content. The vocabularies of each unit are well put: Persian script on the left, transliteration in the middle and translation on the right. This is excellent because of the change of reading direction. The Persian script used is small but clear, unlike in some other books I've seen. The exercises seem useful.I'd like to see some illustrated vocabularies in the first chapters, but that seems almost like an avoided thing in elementary level books of Persian. Why? Seeing an image of for example common objects and simple locations and directions (under, above, left, between, from, in, towards) would make learning a lot easier. I don't mean an illustrated dictionary for Persian background children but a language study book that makes use of simple, descriptive images to teach vocabulary. So far I've seen this kind of pictures only in Manuel de Persan by Balay & Esmaili (in French), but I hope there are others, just maybe not in English.
