Why Learn Pashto?
Pashto is one of two official languages in Afghanistan (the other is Dari Persian). Considered one of the most significant languages in the Eastern Iranian classification of languages, Pashto is spoken primarily in Afghanistan and northern Pakistan, where it’s also an official language of that country. The language is also spoken in scattered areas throughout Iran. 45 million people speak Pashto as their first language, with an additional 5 million using it as a second language. Spoken by more than half of Afghanistan’s total population. The Pashto alphabet is based on Arabic script, and the language is regulated by the Academy of Sciences in Afghanistan.

Why Choose Pimsleur for Online Pashto Lessons?
Speak Pashto with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Pashto. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Pashto language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
