Can I learn both Tehrani and Dari Persian at the same time, or will that break my brain?

Posted by u/Absolutebeginnerbo_764 / May 30, 2026

I’m an absolute beginner who keeps bouncing between apps, but I’ve realized my materials are all mixing Tehrani (Iran) and Dari (Afghanistan) vocabulary and intonation. I want to focus on one so I can actually reach fluency, but I don't know which one is better for a total beginner who just wants to read literature and communicate safely. Should I commit to one script/pronunciation set, or does it not matter that much yet?
