4.0 out of 5 stars ho ho, 100 words of pashto, May 22 2005

By G. C JONES - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Your First 100 Words in Pashto (Paperback)

The title is quite clear--this book will teach you 100 words/phrases of pashto. The games/puzzles/connect-the-words pages are on the one hand quite stupid but on the other hand serve as the repetition necessary to commit the words to memory. So far, my favorite word in Pashto is "ghwaa" (cow). I completed the book in 3 days. The editorial comment is wrong, Pashto is not spoken in Iran but is rather spoken in Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan. A few words but not an overwhelming number are Farsi cognates (gul, pul, darwaazah, na, paak) and there are a few English/French cognates (talvezyoon, telefoon, hottel). The reader unfamiliar with the Arabic alphabet will find the book harder, and this book can serve as an introduction to the Pashto alphabet. (Arabic emphatic letters, th, dh, etc. are not used much).

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners, April 30 2007

By Kristen Sanders - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Your First 100 Words in Pashto (Paperback)

I loved this book because it was the only thing I could find that helped me read the complicated arabic script. The flash cards are awesome. It does not have conversational Pashto, but it definitely helped with my understanding of the written language. A quick way to learn 100 words in Pashto. I recommend using this in conjunction with other Pashto learning devices.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good backup for Rosetta Stone, May 29 2010

This review is from: Your First 100 Words in Pashto (Paperback)

Caveat: buy this in the paperback version only if you want it to be useful as a language learning tool. If you wish a backup copy in your computer, get the Kindle version. The flashcards are vital for visual learners to reinforce learning. The transliterations are also helpful until the learner is comfortable with the alphabet.
