If you're interested in actually LEARNING Farsi (Persian), this software program is NOT the resource to turn to. While Eurotalk deserves five stars for their incredibly user-friendly lesson interface, this program consists of nothing more than quick snippet lines for business travellers who need enough to survive 2-3 days on an overseas trip (i.e. "Where is the hotel?" "Can you direct me to a phone?" etc. etc). The only redeeming feature of this program is that a user can actually hear Farsi being spoken (and thus get an idea as to lingual sounds). See ya...

This cd is an excellent resource for building your vocab, the interface is excellent and easy to use. However I am very disapointed with the publisher that they haven't continued the series to intermediate and advanced. I am still using it but I know that there is a life to it. Some of the games can also be completed by memory!! Categories include indepth vocabs such as Food, shopping, phrases, body parts etc. with about 4 in each.

If you are learning Farsi and have no or little experience of the language then don't hesitiate in getting it otherwise maybe look for another resource.

The program is great and very helpful. It has a printable dictionary for each section as well as a portion of each section where you use a microphone to speak the words being taught to help you say everything properly! I love the program itself, the only downfall is that you'll really like it and when you want to move to intermediate and advanced you find that the publisher doesn't have Farsi for either of those!! I think it's pretty sad that they start you off and then don't have Farsi in intermediate or advanced but at thelst the beginner's program is great!
