Pimsleur Dari Persian Conversational Course - Level 1 Lessons 1-16 CD: Learn to Speak and Understand Dari Persian with Pimsleur Language Programs (1) Review: Dari for Dummies - I'm one of them! - Let's be clear about what this is and what it's not. For the reader who is seriously interested in mastering the language, this purchase is not going to be a substitute for a comprehensive study such as "Dari" by Rahman Arman. The underlying methodological principle, to deny the learner a text or visual cues of any form, is initially a lot to swallow. The serious mastery of any language requires a synergy of four elements: reading, writing, hearing, and speaking. But all we're talking about here is an introduction to help the learner to get started. After realizing that there was no accompanying printed material, I was skeptical to the point of wanting to send back my purchase untried. Frustrated but assuming I could try it out for free, I decided to listen to the first lessons and then got hooked. As an adult I've mastered several foreign languages, one or two of them at a level where native speakers occasionally confuse me for being native myself. I don't think I'm unusually dumb, at least when it comes to learning languages, but I'll disagree with some of the other reviewers on this point: I had to listen to each of the lessons several times before moving on to the next one. I copied them individually onto an mp3-Format using a freeware audiorecorder, Apowersoft. It was important to be able to frequently pause the recording while learning. Working on it while driving proved to be less effective because I didn't have my hands free to stop and re-start the playback. The exercises also take a lot of concentration, and I'm too careful a driver to let myself get that distracted. What worked for me was traveling daily to work either by train or bus. On balance it seems to be a seriously sensible way to get started. There's a concerted focus on pronunciation and simple dialogue that can be used "as is" for conversation or as a basis for further learning. I use my Dari for volunteer work with Afghan refugees. Parallel to the Pimsleur course I'm working as well on the written form of the language. Nonetheless, it's been helpful to put aside the Persian text while learning the pronunciation. It forces me to listen more carefully and doesn't allow me to reinforce my spoken mistakes while reading from the written cues. All in all, this is Dari for Dummies. I'm one of them. It's best not to be too proud and to start with the basics. It was well worth my investment. That said, it's unlikely I'll put out three digits for Level 2. At some point it's better to switch back to a standard textbook with reading and written exercises. Review: Wish level 2 was less expensive! - This is an absolutely perfect basic foundation for learning Dari. It is simple enough that a completely ignorant novice, like myself, can pick up the basics! You definitely can't take a trip to Afghanistan after just this course, but you can impress your local Afghan restaurant or you Afghan in-laws with a few key phrases. I love the way it tackled the grammar of Dari as it is very different from English, even setting it up for you to think okay you know this word and that word, can you guess how to say this phrase? This added level of thinking about how the language works rather than just memorizing a bunch of phrases is how you can really learn a language as time goes on. Perfect for beginners to get a solid foundation to then continue their studies later. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,330,074 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,271 in Books on CD #3,679 in Foreign Language Instruction (Books) #38,950 in Schools & Teaching (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (26) | | Dimensions | 9.5 x 2.1 x 8 inches | | Edition | 16th | | ISBN-10 | 0743571568 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0743571562 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 8 pages | | Publication date | September 15, 2009 | | Publisher | Pimsleur | ## Images ![Pimsleur Dari Persian Conversational Course - Level 1 Lessons 1-16 CD: Learn to Speak and Understand Dari Persian with Pimsleur Language Programs (1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AV2C2FS3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dari for Dummies - I'm one of them! *by S***L on January 2, 2019* Let's be clear about what this is and what it's not.

Providing a written script of the conversations would be better though. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/22815677-pimsleur-dari-persian-conversational-course-level-1-lessons-1-16](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/22815677-pimsleur-dari-persian-conversational-course-level-1-lessons-1-16) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
