This is by far the best method to learn how to read Persian that I’ve encountered. For some reason I’ve had a block learning the Persian alphabet for years and I’ve tried learning it from other grammar books and many different self-teaching methods but the exercises in this book are by far the best. They are simple but help effectively learn the alphabet and I feel like after a few days of working through this book the alphabet is almost permanently ingrained in my brain lol. There are a few errors/inconsistencies but I highly recommend. Definitely going to be checking out this series for when I learn a different script in the future

Very organised and easy to follow, it helped me learn the Persian writing. I found 2 errors and hope they can be corrected in the new edition:
Page 87: on the top, the dots above 4 forms of Sād should be removed, those are for Zād
Page 92: Based on the transliteration convention on the book, transliteration of 4 for Persian should be čahār, not xahār

This book helped me with my Farsi class - I needed to buy a couple books to assist with my learning. This book assist with the grammar that is necessary to learn.
