Dari
Today I learned a bit of Dari - a variant of Persian spoken by most afghans, since it is one of the official languages in the country! I learned it because I was going to my barber who is also my afghan friend. Like I always do, I just typed in "learn" and the language I wanted to learn in Youtube. The phrases were very basic and I also learned to count. It took about 15 minutes before I had to go. While I was fetting my haircut I got to use every single phrase that I had learned. He asked me how was the haircut - I said "maghbul". He was surprised because it seemed like I knew a whole lot, when in reality I had just learned a few conversational phrases - they were just relevant to the situations. I said "tashakaar" and after he responded, I said "khuda hafiz". It was a very smooth experiense! I can only advise to use what you have learned in any language when it is possible. At the end of the day, that is the goal after all 😃
