Waheed Samadi

Over the last couple months, I have been doing self-study for Dari and I felt it was time to start putting it all into action in conversation. This was my first time meeting with Waheed and it was amazing! Sometimes I can be shy about practicing my target languages, especially with new people, but Waheed was very supportive, encouraging, and most of all, patient. During my lessons, I really want to get the most out of it by aiming to stay in the target language as much as possible and only a few times, we resorted to English, or other languages, which was my fault, but Waheed was good at using Dari to explain things if I didn't understand. He kept the conversation going and put me in plenty of situations to create my own sentences. I'm not good at choosing what to talk about so it's really helpful for me when I have someone "forcing" me to talk (in a good way, of course!). I left class today feeling more confident in my speaking and I want to continue that! besiyar tashakr, Waheed!

Even after 3 months of classes, Wahid has not run out of topics to talk to me about. The progress is steady. He always remembers words and phrases he has taught me in the past and finds ways to naturally weave them into our conversation. I is also always ready to answer deep grammatical questions, if they arise. I cannot recommend him enough.

Wahid is a great teacher, he is adaptable to the lessons and to the student. I enjoy the lessons very much, they are very enriching to my language learning.

Today we did some more conversation practice. Several different topics. I learned a lot in this lesson, phrases and vocabulary, that will definitely be useful in my future with Dari. It’s a stress-free and supportive learning environment with Waheed!

another great lesson
