Dari is one of the official languages of Afghanistan along with Pashto. It shares a long literary history, both classical and modern, with the Persian (Farsi) of Iran, and the Tajik of Tajikistan, but over the centuries the languages have been split by politics and geography. Dan is written in a modified form of the Arabic script, but it has been transliterated here into the roman alphabet. This title contains a vast array of indispensable words supplying travellers and those working in Afghanistan with the resources needed to communicate effectively.

I initially bought this to improve my Dari, I guess it is aimed at complete beginners and not someone who used to be fluent with the language and just wants to brush up on it
The book is ok, but since it is latinized through the whole book, you will not be able to understand the pronounciation correct. For a person who needs to learn some words fast and which already does have some dari language experience, the book would be good, but what do you then need the dictionary for as a dari speaking person, when you can buy a dari dictionary with dari letters?
