"With a steady stream of relevant dialogues, a series of pithy passages of reading material, glimpses of Persian culture and literature, and plenty of engaging exercises, all creatively conceptualized and methodically presented, 'Persian in Use' is bound to find a prominent place in the increasingly professionalized field of Persian language pedagogy." - Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak, Professor of Near Eastern Languages & Civilizations, University of Maryland

"To be forthright, teaching Persian as a second language is still far from an established field. Sedighi's 'Persian in Use' with its fresh approach, tasteful design, and engaging methodology is a welcome publication in response to this perpetual need. The book indeed is designed to improve students' language and cultural fluency, delightfully and systematically." - Kamran Talattof, Professor of Near Eastern Studies, University of Arizona
