Ratings and reviews

The app needs to devote more time to drills, because, while isolated letters are memorized relatively quickly, letter combinations and words can be more tricky, and can't be reproduced from memory after being shown only a couple of times.

provides excellent elementary farsi - prepares you well if you plan on taking a language course.

very good 👍 hope it was free so that l can explore every lesson
