Summary: Great for beginners
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: useless if you buy a new computer
Comment: I bought this book. When I got a new computer, the dialog boxes necessary to reauthorize it with a new computer were grayed out in the required area. Plan on buying a new book with each new computer. The book is overly simple but does teach 100 words in Pashto. Too bad the DRM makes it useless. Better to borrow it from the library and scan it.

Summary: ho ho, 100 words of pashto
Comment: 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).
