Mr Elwell-Sutton's book provides a simple grammatical framework for
contemporary written Persian. It is based on the characteristic
idiom and phraseology of the language as it is used in newspapers,
magazines and novels. The student is introduced to Persian script
from the first lesson. Words are fully vocalized in the early
lessons, but vowels are progressively discarded; they are, however,
shown in the vocabulary. The letter-forms of printed Persian are
used cursive scripts. Although the structure of the language is Mr
Elwell-Sutton's immediate concern, he has given close attention to
the need for acquiring a workable vocabulary. The examples and
exercises thus require only a limited vocabulary of words in fairly
common use - about 1500 in all. The student is also given help with
pronunciation; at the ends of lessons sample sentences from the
exercises are printed with diacritics showing the intonation and
stress of each syllable. At the end of the book there is a key to
the lessons.
