Tough luck again, no Pashto, nor even Urdu.
But...
Chinese, Italian, Spanish, French, German, and English as a Second Language
are available.
Very interesting.

Just like the old forum, please do not post links to pirated language programs, books or media. rdearman does not wish to receive letters from lawyers.

I understand, that's why I didn't post anything, but google does it.
The link I posted is the official one.

And Google regularly receives letters from lawyers. They have an entire department to deal with that and a process: https://support.google.com/legal/troubl ... 4905?hl=en

As to Yabla, thanks, it is a great tool. I've used it in the past.

Unfortunately the cost of the subscription versus the renewal of content does not make it worthwhile for me.
100 € a year for what is basically under titles of a relatively small collection of youtube videos in my target languages of varying quality.

If you do use it, I suggest one subscribe on a more limited fashion, use the content and then see if it worth a long-term subscription.
In my case it was not.

If they had that for Pashto, I would pay. They way they do it is extremely learner friendly.

Off topic

If you've got enough money, you can do almost anything.
Not a very long time ago, Apple sent a one-hundred-page long demand to ap.pl to stop using the url.
ap stands for Art Productions and has been on the market for ten or more years.

Edit
I'm sure they'll try to tell people to stop selling and eating apples.

If you intend on keeping your phone a while and have plenty of space, you can subscribe, download all the videos to the Yabla app and keep them as long as u like post subscription running out. Dont like using it on your phone? Use a HDMI cable and run it through your TV.
