Customer Reviews
Handy, but can be frustrating.
Although I do agree in part with the previous reviewer - it is frustrating having only one definition per entry - I do find this dictionary handy for carrying around. I find it good for vocabulary when talking to/learning from my friends who are helping me with Farsi - they are ESOL students and find this dictionary very helpful. Though as an ESOL tutor I find the American spelling very frustrating and have warned my students about this!
So basically, OK for carrying around.
not sufficient
this dictionary is not only difficult to read, it gives only one definition per word, no examples of usage of word, does not define the grammatical status of a word, all in all I do not recommend buying this dictionary if you are a serious student of farsi.
