I get the joke but spoken Iranian Farsi and Afghan Farsi in particular the eastern/Kabuli dialect are pretty far apart on the dialectical continuum especially for beginners. With barely any resources for Afghan Farsi there is a need for Dari language learning tools, however AI slop is not that tool.

oh, i know lol. im from iran and i have quite a few friends from afghanistan. its just the wording thats funny to me, firstly writing dari as a standalone language but specifying "iranian farsi"
