Filled me with confidence for my trip to Iran

By Liz - September 6, 2006

This pack comes with 8 CDs, which is 16 half-hour lessons. There is no book - the theory is that your accent will be better if you learn from speech only and without writing things down. For a grammar-nerd like me, it was a difficult proposition, but I really think it works. From the very first half-hour session, you feel you are making impressive progress.

what a method!

By Midge St. Louis - January 9, 2007

this is the best language learning method i have used. i have a degree in french and linguistics and i can tell you that from a technical standpoint these cds are excellent. you learn things you don't even realize you're learning, you repeat A LOT but somehow you're not bored by it (the way they set it up is so that you repeat things but in a different "conversation"), and you don't just learn travel-type information -- it's stuff you would use if you had farsi-speakers in your life or as acquaintances. it also gives cultural information so that you don't make any faux pas when speaking and so you can better understand the context for the language. so worth the money. you can actually come out speaking fairly competently.
