Wahid is a funny guy. He knows English pretty decently since he studied English literature, and he is indeed very helpful and willing to help students beyond what is required of him.
During the lesson I noted he has a very strong Dari accent (e.g pronounces بزرگ as "buzurg" rather than in Iranian "bozorg"), which I absolutely love and I wish to emulate his accent for this reason.
Waheed's teaching style is presentations. Unfortunately this means there is not a lot of speaking, but I honestly just want to focus on pronunciation and input first, so for my purposes the presentation was actually quite suitable and interesting.
My only big criticism is his internet connection: during the lesson his WiFi often disconnected which made me unable to see or hear him. This is not his fault (he himself said the situation of WiFi in Afghanistan is not great), but an issue nonetheless. It will be interesting to see how we work around this in coming lessons.
