Dari-English/English-Dari Dictionary & Phrasebook (New Dictionary & Phrasebooks)

Very good and usefull. Good that the words in dari are written in a way you could read the letters and understand how they are pronounced in the same time. It helps to be familiar with grammar before reading this book. I love the book!

The dictionary is of a nice small size and very easy to use, with good range of words and phrases.

a most fascinating book with phrases and dictionary feature so as help one compose a lucid conversational flow and hopefully be understood.

The book is ok, but since it is latinized through the whole book, you will not be able to understand the pronounciation correct. For a person who needs to learn some words fast and which already does have some dari language experience, the book would be good, but what do you then need the dictionary for as a dari speaking person, when you can buy a dari dictionary with dari letters?

Good book for someone learning Dari, as my husband was for work, small enough for him to carry around easily

I initially bought this to improve my Dari, I guess it is aimed at complete beginners and not someone who used to be fluent with the language and just wants to brush up on it

very good informative Book

This book Is so bad , probably the worst one I have read , It has so many errors and it has been written by a white man that has never spoke the language nor does he have any knowledge of it , there is more Iranian dialect in the book then there is Dari dialect , we Dari speaker just don't use Iranian dialect , if the book is called Dari then it should have Dari dialect not Iranian , too much misinformation in this book , save you money and go invest it in Persian dictionary by written by the native Persian people , white people don't speak the language , nor should they have the right to translate a language they don't know or are familiar with ,they just do it for profit, This book and its vocabulary is very limiting.

The media could not be loaded.  I have been learning Dari for a few months after meeting some Afghans in my community. With some basic understanding of Dari, this dictionary has been super useful to continuing my learning of Dari. It is not easy to find a Dari-English/English-Dari Dictionary! There is a lot of Persian material but it is different from Dari. The book contains a pronunciation guide, a Dari-English Dictionary, an English-Dari Dictionary, and a Dari Phrasebook which includes things like Etiquette, Introductions, Travel, Food and Drink, Shopping, Education, Weather, The Body, Time and Dates, Numbers, and more! Highly recommend this book.

There is a small minority of people for whom a new alphabet, like the Persian alphabet, just clicks. For the other 99% of us, it's really helpful to have a dictionary like this, with words spelled out in our Roman alphabet.You can transition into a more traditional Dari/English dictionary once you are comfortable conversing in the language. After, that's pretty much what kids do. Almost all kids develop basic speaking skills before they learn to use the alphabet.Also, I recommend this book if you are going to be interacting with Afghans. Don't buy a standard Persian/Farsi dictionary because it will favor vocabulary from Iran. The difference between Afghan Persian (officially referred to as Dari, though Afghans pretty much never call it that) and Iranian Persian (referred to as Farsi) is about the same as the difference between American English and Scottish English, or the difference between Australian English and Canadian English. In formal writing, and in educated speech, it's pretty much all the same.The problem is, the more everyday or informal the language is, the more they are different. If you learn too many Iranian words then you will just be confused when you start interacting with Afghans.Bottom line, get a book like this which focuses on Dari, the Persian used in Afghanistan.

Für alle Phrasen gibt's eine Umschrift.Für Anfänger als auch Nicht-Anfänger geeignet.Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.

まず見た瞬間手ごろなサイズ、手にとってパラパラ、あれ！ダリ語が書いてない。自分で書くためのテキスト！？。宿題付の辞書だったか。がっかりしたり、やる気を出したり。この値段じゃ仕方がないか。それにしてもダリ語なしのダリ語の説明はあったのかな？

If you are an English language person, trying to learn Dari speech, this book is probably great. If you are a Dari person, trying to learn English, this book is almost completely useless.Other than pg 24 "The Dari Alphabet," there is zero Dari in this book. This book should not be called "Dari-English" it should be called "Dari Phonetic - English"For example, if a native Dari speaker said "gawak" to you, you can go to this book, in the "Dari - English" section, and look up "gawak" and you'll be like "Oh, they said Snail." But if i said "Snail" to a Dari person, they could AT MOST look up "Snail" and it says "Gawak," but if they don't know how to pronunciate English letters, that's useless to them.Great book to LEARN Dari. Useless book to be Dari and learn English.
