Any resources for learning Pashto?

Postby Takra jenai » Sat Jul 18, 2015 4:00 pm

Anything out there? I'm not very good at finding things, I'm afraid.
I'm a zero beginner, but I'd like some advanced resources as well, including native materials.
Thank you for your help.

Thank you very much, you've been very helpful.

I'm afraid I didn't know anything about the old/real HTLAL. I joined here because a friend of mine told me to ask the question here.

Don't worry, the name has changed but the community is the same, so you'll still get your answers. :)

Thanks everyone once more.

All the (slim) learning resources are for the Pashto language spoken in Afghanistan.
I'm mainly interested in Pashto spoken in the Swat Valley in Pakistan. Are there any learning materials for that?

I checked and there's only one tutor in Italki that teaches Pashtu: http://www.italki.com/teachers/tutoring/pashtu
Perhaps you should try contacting him, as the requirements (Pashtu from Pakistan) are very specific.
That's as far as I can think of resources for Pashto. :)

I had this site saved in an old Google Doc of language learning resources (sadly, it hasn't been updated in years). It's a collection of other resources. You might find it helpful.

Would anyone be willing and able to make a word-for-word translation of a couple of Pashto texts posted here, the ones with audio?

Listing all the basic/dictionary forms of words would be wonderful too.
Thank you.
