Product Description:
This is a clear and user-friendly guide to Persian grammar, both of the written and spoken languages, especially useful for those in the early stages of studying the Persian language. It serves as a revision and reference book that can be used to support any Persian course book. The script is taught step-by-step. It uses the official reformed spelling, and gives attention to handwriting, educated standard and educated colloquial pronunciation, and the important polite forms. The grammar is explained in lay terms with copious examples, all shown both in Persian script and in Roman transliteration. The grammatical themes are grouped logically, and there are cross-references, appendices and a subject index to facilitate the search for the right form.

Great grammar book for beginning and intermediate study, December 16, 2004
Reviewer: T. D. Boyle "Aging Student of Life" (Chicago, IL)

This is the grammar book I wish I had found first. I bought another grammar text as well as word lists and colloquial speaking primers only to face several months of painful struggle. I allow that some early chapters here were easier by virtue of that struggle but life would have been much easier with this clear, well organized volume. It surely will not take the work out of foreign language study and cannot replace conversation tapes, vocabulary, story primers and human conversation; it will however, make all those more comprehensible in the early going. And if you read "How to learn any language" and plan to follow the advise to read five chapters of a grammar book, make it this one.

Great book with grammar in terms we can understand!, July 1, 2003

Reviewer: "ghazna" (USA)

This is a spectacular beginner to intermediate book to use in conjunction with a course-based text. This book cannot actually teach you persian all on its own, but as a reference it is indespensible. While your course book may lightly delve into grammatical topics, this book travels a little deeper but without assaulting you WITHOUT INCOMPREHENSIBLE GRAMMATICAL TERMS. It gives you a full understanding of any part of Iranian Persian (Farsi) Grammar.

The book is a well organized, modern, and not painful to the eyes to read. In addition, this text contains modern colloquial forms on the side. Also, uniform Latin transcription, definitions, Persian text are included for EVERY persian word referred to!

I definitely recommend this book, especially over Persian Grammar by Ann K.S. Lambton for students not interested in delving deeply into literary Persian. Lambton confuses you with advanced english grammar terms time an again while Mace's book uses a few of these terms and offers generous examples to back it up.

The bottom line: Buy this book if you want to have a good grammatical backing for your course oriented book for beginner to intermediate modern persian students.
