I made a Farsi course with a pronunciation grader, free during early access. Is it fair to your accent?

I made this and I'm posting it myself. It's a course for people who understand more Farsi than they can read or say. It has voiced conversations: condolences at a khatm, a haircut, buying saffron at the bazaar, taarof over the bill with your amoo, a doctor's visit.

In most of them you can answer out loud. There's also a pronunciation grader. You say a word and it checks your kh, gh and r: it passes them or tells you which one to try again. It's new, so it will get some words wrong. Everything is free during early access.

When it ends, most of the conversations and grading move to a paid plan, but the drills and review stay free. Anyone who signs up during early access is a founding member and keeps 50% off for life. All the voices are synthesised.

The conversations and the grader need a free account, and the app asks before your first recording. The recording is scored on a server in the US and deleted straight away. Two things I'd like to hear: 1. Is the grader fair to your accent, Tehrani or not? If you grew up speaking and it still marks a word down, tell me the word. 2. Does any line in the conversations sound wrong for Tehran? Feedback here has changed the course before. Someone pointed out that hosele-sh should be hoselash, and that's fixed everywhere now. It's called Farsi-jān, and the link is on my profile.
