Hi all,
I'm searching for the FSI/DLI language materials for Pashto. It's a fairly obscure language but I previously worked in Pashto-speaking sections of Afghanistan for three years and am heading back there in a month. While I speak the basics, my goal for this trip is to develop fluency.
Unfortunately there aren't many good Pashto-language materials available. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've just been researching Pashto for a language website I'm going to put up soon, so I've already got quite a lot of links. These are the most useful ones: Introduction to Pushto (Pashto) - A basic Peace Corps course with audio and PDF to download. CAL Beginning Pashto (workbook and textbook) by Tegey & Robson. CAL Pashto conversation manual by Tegey & Robson - Audio is available here. CAL Intermediate Pashto (textbook & workbook) by Tegey & Robson. CAL - A reference grammar of Pashto by Tegey & Robson. - Grammar book for beginning & intermediate level. - Exercises, wordlists, notes etc to accompany the passages. CAL Pashto reader (original) by Tegey & Robson. - 37 passages in original photocopied or published form. CAL Pashto reader (transcriptions) by Tegey & Robson. - 45 transcripted passages for readers not familiar with written Pashto. Intermediate listening and reading project - Multimedia exercises to improve student's language ability. - Teaches vocabulary, interactive exercises with audio. - Language survival kits available, some specific to the military.Pashto language learning podcasts - News articles in simplified language from Indiana universityNote: The material written by Tegey & Robson is part of a set and are meant to be used together. Completion of all materials should bring you up to an advanced level. It was published by the Centre for Applied Linguistics (CAL) in Washington D.C. I hope that helps! P.S. If you go to http://www.lmp.ucla.edu/index.aspx you can search for materials for Pashto, both online and offline. Edited by unzum - 14 January 2008 at 3:48pm |

There is some DLI Pashto material on eBay for a reasonable price. I don't know if it's complete or not, but it's something.

The website is designed for English speaking people who wants to learn Pashto Language. The goal of this Website is to help you in acquiring a conversational ability in Afghan Pashto, and to provide you the information about the History, Language, and Culture of the people who speak this language |
