Product Description

The increasing popularity of the study of Persian (also known as Farsi, Tajiki or Dari) in the English speaking world, has created a need for a bi-directional Persian-English dictionary geared towards English speakers who are learning Persian. The features of the "Persian-English / English-Persian Learner's Dictionary" which make it unique are - Bi-directional: this is the first and only Persian-English/English-Persian dictionary in one volume which features both Persian and transliteration. Alphabet: the alphabet used in Persian is completely different from the English. This can be a major barrier in the early stages of learning the language. This dictionary provides a simple transliteration of the Persian word along with its equivalent in the Persian alphabet. Alphabetical order: in this dictionary, the alphabetical order in the Persian-English section is based on the English spelling. This makes it easy for the user who is not familiar with the Persian alphabet to find a word. Correct use of words: this dictionary gives synonyms in various contexts allowing the student to easily choose the correct meaning. Entries: approximately 18,000 entries covering both day-to-day and more specialised vocabulary. The audience for this dictionary is: English speaking students of Persian; English speakers who are seeking to communicate with Persian speakers; children of Iranians, Afghans and Tajiks outside their homeland who wish to learn their mother language; and Persian speakers who wish to learn English.
