An excellent resource for beginners, October 8, 2004
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.

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...

Talk Now! Farsi, May 15, 2004

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!
