 Avoid - doesn't run on Linux November 24, 2003
5 out of 15 found this review helpful
This might be the most wonderful piece of software in the world, but if it doesn't run on Linux, it's useless to many of us (including me) who have no access to Windows. Most Windows software (MS Office, Photoshop, etc) runs just fine on Linux, but for some reason, this one doesn't. I'm going to look for something else.
Not worth the money. October 14, 2005

This should be a $5-10 piece of software. The "interact" scenarios provided are few and not all that helpful. Essentially all you can learn is directions or saying very simple pleasantries. I can say with confidence that anyone would be better off with an audio recording and/or book to learn farsi.

This software su**s. The first things I want to learn in a new language are NOT how to get medicine for diarreah and headache. THis is what you can learn, it some detail. You can also learn how to order about 5 Persian dishes at a restaurant. What you CANNOT learn from this software is how to say anything you might actually need were you to go to Iran or want to have a conversation with someone in Farsi.
 Good Place To Start - FUN! Great for kids and adults. August 10, 2008

Persian Tutor by Professor Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak is an interactive CD-ROM that is designed with both the beginner through advanced student in mind. Learn the Persian alphabet and beginning reading and writing principles. Practice speaking Persian through exciting and realistic street scenes. Persian Tutor delivers more instruction, more effectively than many other higher priced products on the market today.
This is not a complete course, but its a good place to start, especially since so many get stuck on the alphabet. This CD will teach you the accurate pronunciation of the alphabet - at your own pace. Once you've learned pronunciation and reading, the dialogue section is a lot of fun! You'll like the graphics of the Iranian city: the market place, food, friends, hotel, even the taxi! It's a cultural experience.
Fun and valuable learning August 10, 2008

The design of the learning is brilliant! It also works on XP and Vista. The publisher gave me upgrades to work on my computer.
