Persisches Lehr- Und Lesebuch Für Die Umgangssprache

Description

Alexander Arguelles wrote the following on a well-known online forum for language learners:“In any case, if at all possible, I would emphatically recommend starting any study of Persian with Farhad Sobhani’s Persisches Lehr- und Lesebuch, Berlin: Walter de Gruyter & Co., 1962. This is truly one of the very best language textbooks I have ever seen for any language, a pleasure and a joy to work with, and a means of getting you reading intelligent and interesting texts in large, clear script right away.Only a small but still adequate portion of it was recorded, and I believe it would be a great service to translate it into English and simultaneously have the entire text recorded. Likewise, Dr. Sobhani’s Persisch-deutsches Wörterbuch, Berlin: Walter de Gruyter & Co., 1971, is an absolutely indispensable resource. Organized by means of a key that enables you to turn almost immediately to the correct page, this dictionary contains the 10,000 most important Persian words, which have been so well selected that it is rather refreshingly rare that you need to access a larger one. If you happen to be a leaner who can proceed by memorizing words, then this would clearly be an ideal place to start. If not (and I myself certainly am not), then this is a fantastic tool to begin reading real literature much more swiftly than you normally be able to hope.”
