Learn Persian - Free WordPower App Reviews

I love this app. The best I have tried.

Good interface, work perfectly, salaam ??

The free program is a waste of time. It comes installed with one word (wow). The program automatically downloads one word a day. After one year, I would have a whopping vocabulary of 365 words. Not very impressive.

This app is not even worth money or your time.

The idea and the interface is great, but this should be used as a vocabulary-building tool for intermediate- and higher-level students rather than a teaching tool for beginners. One word a day is much too slow, and most of the words are useless: this week Ive gotten "to be discharged (from a hospital)", "shipment", "commute", and... "seven". Also, the same wordlist (which I strongly suspect was made for Japanese, the original language offered by Innovative) is used for all the languages, which means that some of the entries make sense for Japanese but not for other languages (for example, having "to recieve, to pick up (a telephone)" as a single entry even though they are two unrelated words in Persian). Unfortunately, the translator seems to have stuck to the wordlist given to him a bit too faithfully, resulting sometimes in long or awkward translations, unlike in some of the other WordPower languages where the list was adjusted as necessary to suit each language better. Finally, I sometimes get words that havent been translated yet. This week one of the words was "language", but where the translation shoul have been it just said "new". Other times theres a translation but no recording. I wonder why they bother to put these unfinished entries in there at all. Again, the app is a great idea and obviously made by a language learner, but the implementation thus far has been so sloppy and unprofessional that the idea of upgrading to the paid version is laughable.

This app is pretty good if you want to learn words, but are a slow learner. It gives you a new word every day, and lets you use a flash card feature to study. I recommend getting it, although upgrading to the paid version is over-priced and useless.

Trying to learn six different languages, this a good way to increase vocabulary.

As a student of ancient Iranian history, I find this app to be an indispensable tool for studying the Persian language. This app allows me to absorb more words, thus I have a stronger vocabulary base when I read primary sources.

This is very useful for me.

It says theres not enough storage? It needs 409 MB but yet I have 518 MB available?!! :( HELP

Love it, so easy and fun to use.

Awesome app with great feature to help you learn!

The remodeled app is so cool. Very helpful and useful. Makes speaking Farsi with my Persian friends easy.

Very helpful, especially with a native accent speaker as the guide. I highly recommend.

A great way to spark a conversation in another language. An ideal ice breaker.

Finally an app to appreciate the beautiful Persian culture and the language :)

Good practice after my 1st semester Farsi class. I really like the more difficult sample sentences for word of the day.

My husband is persian and is fluent in Farsi. This application has helped me in understanding the basic concepts and words that make up the entire language. Its helpful and awesome

Like the pronunciation feature, the transliteration feature and the sample sentences!! Great help to me in learning to read and write Persian. Thank you!

Very very bad app.
