Re: Need a Pushto speaking friend for lessons
Dear Mirch,
Thanks I appreciate the help, but I am looking for someone who really knows the language and is patient and won't laugh if I muck things up when I try to say them. I really need someone who has sort of a training or educational type background who understands the grammer as well as the more common vernacular of the language.
Anyone out there game?
Nothing is better than learning one on one but in the meantime you can try these:
Learn Pashto Online - Write or Speak in Pashto Language Exchange
Rosetta Stone has been getting good reviews for their system of teaching Pashto too
Learn Pashto with Rosetta Stone

Ifti you said you are not a Muslim, are you saying Salam just to be polite to Muslims on this board? I am just curious.

Re: Need a Pushto speaking friend for lessons
Wiseman, I am sorry that you don't like Pathans, I think you would like me if we met and had a chance to be friends. I am unlike any other Pathan you will ever meet. Having said that though, I know that Pathans in general are or can be very private, clique-ish, and self-righteous, but where it counts, they are very nice people and you would be hard pressed to find truer friends. Although I think one did just shoot a US soldier in the head a few weeks ago, that was horrible.
Shikra, Salaam means peace, it is also a greeting, I do say it out of courtesy, but I mean it in my heart as well. Salaam alaikum. Although, I am not a Muslim now, I was one previously, but of course that opens up a whole other can of worms....
Mirch thank you for the sites I will try and make use of them, but I would really want someone who can speak conversationally. I understand Pushto/pukhto fairly well, I want to be able to speak it more fluently.

Re: Need a Pushto speaking friend for lessons
Khan, Pushto is a hard language.. So u have to either go to a teacher to learn it or join a class... That would be the best way for u.. :)
Raza, raza! - Aao, aao.
Ukhra, ukhra - kao, kao.
Makawa - dont do it
Ao ka na - haan na!
LOL, Man i'm good!
