Lonely Planet Farsi (Persian) Phrasebook & Dictionary

I have a PhD in Persian Studies and speak Farsi fluently. But this little phrasebook is very well done, gives lots of vocabulary for terms I didn't know, is very well laid out, has a super English-Persian/Persian-English dictionary at the back, and, for those who can read Arabic script, it uses both transliterations and words in the script. Even if you don't read Persian, the use of the original script means you can point to words and expect Iranians to understand them. Don't forget that this will serve you well, not just in Iran, but in Dari-speaking parts of Afghanistan and in Farsi-speaking Tajikistan.

I already speak Farsi , but i can’t write. So this little book is going to help me to learn to write in Farsi . Very good looking,small fit in a medium shoulder bag easily . I definitely recommend this book .

Great LP phrasebook as always but the only thing that seems to have changed in the ten years since I bought the last one is the cover!

Good for a trip to iran but would be hard to learn from!

The book is tiny, but has over 250 pages including a 2 way dictionary, and has lots of useful information and phrases, with all translated in spoken and written Farsi.

Basic and fundamental Farsi. Really useful. Use it wisely!

Not as good as I had hoped for. Putting the Farsi translation in green made it very difficult to read, especially in poor light. Also, becuase of the pocket-size of the book itself, the print is fairly small and reading glasses were needed! Not the easiest phrasebook to use when you need to look something up quickly.

Very good, explains the basics and provides transliteration that is useful for beginners.

Bien detallado en contexto para la pronunciación.

I am not sure what to expect in phrasebook, but it didn't seem to start with things I would need: "Hello" "how are you" "what time is it" "how much does it cost" "I am sorry" "my name is" "what is your name?" and the most important one, "where is the bathroom?"It didn't tell me my favorite word in every language: "Breakfast." (German, "Frustuck," Spanish, "Desauno," Italian "prima colazione," Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu: "Nashta." French: "petit déjeuner" Norwegian: "frokost." Danish: "morgenmad.") But could not find that in this book.I looked, honestly.I am certain it would be helpful to someone.Trip was cancelled or postponed due to bone-headed feuding between Iran and USA, so I stopped studying pretty quickly. You'll think they would have the decency to get along until I could complete my two-week exploration of their culture, architecture and food. But noooooo..... They couldn't restrain their bellicose and militaristic nonsense.I was really looking forward to this trip...Trump, Pompeo and the Ayatollahs ruined it for me!Someday, though....

C est un petit livre parfait qui donne une belle vision du perse. Je le recommande. Il faut bien sûr comprendre l anglais.

Kam recht schnell an. Inhaltlich top, sehr sinnvoll aufgebaut, die wichtigsten Sätze für den Alltag enthalten. Aufgeteilt in verschiedene Alltagssituationen, sowohl in persischer als auch lateinischer Schrift mit englischer Übersetzung.Wenn man das Büchlein wirklich gut durchgeht, würde ich behaupten dass man sich mit einigen grammatikalischen Vorkenntnissen im Alltag gut auf Persisch verständigen könnte.

Je l'adore!!! Tel que mentionné dans plusieurs autres commentaires, il y a beaucoup d'informations dans ce livre en anglais! J'adore le fait que la prononciation des mots est expliquée et que les mots soit écrits en anglais, persan (mais avec lettres de l'anglais) et persan. Le livre décrit très bien les concepts de base à connaître sur le farsi! Le livre est divisé par thèmes (grammar, making conversation, car, useful words, family) et contient beaucoup de vocabulaire (mots et phrases). En plus, il y a un dictionnaire de 3500 mots anglais-persan et persan-anglais. De plus, quelques phrases sont traduites mot par mot à l'anglais; on sait donc que tel mot veut dire telle chose. Livre parfait pour les débutants ou pour n'importe qui voulant connaître plus de vocabulaire. Bref, si je visite l'Iran (ou un autre pays où le persan est parlé), c'est certain que j'amène ce livre très pratique!
