Why do you want to learn Pashto?
I assume you're not Pakistani or Afghanistani

Hi, sorry for misspelling. I am Pakistani. I always see pathans/pashtuns who know urdu even if they are not from Pakistan. But I never see non-pathan/pashtun pakistanis who know pashto. I thought there would be no harm if I learnt some pashto.

Lol what? Pashtuns in Pakistan know Pashto and Urdu. Its the peshawari dialect lol dont you know that?

Some of my pakistani friends are balochi or from lahore and they still understand some pashto? Idk maybe you speak different urdu?

I think you've misread my post or I've written it so badly that you've misunderstood what I was trying to say.

I know there are pathans/pashtuns in Pakistan who know both urdu and pashto. My best friend is one of them.

I don't think my urdu would be very different than that of a lahoris. I don't know whether balochi urdu is different.

I've seen a few youtube videos but they didn't look very detailed. But I will keep on looking insha'Allah. Thank you for the recommendation. I know who you are.

Oh yeah tbh Pashto is pretty hard and not much out there to help properly. It is such an old language. Insha'Allah , start from the basics. Welcome Do you have any friends that can help you out?
Oh you do? Lol. Do i Know you?

Thank you for going to the trouble of finding that channel. I've noted the link and I will go through the videos on that channel. Could you possibly do me a favor and have a quick look at the pashto book I found? I just want to know whether it would be worth my time looking through it you see. It's seems to be a class room textbook and I am unsure whether it would be beneficial for me to go through if I don't actually have a proper teacher? By having a look, I just mean skim through a few pages literally, nothing more. The exercise pages don't have much text at all so it'll be quite quick.

If it is a classroom like book, yeah it will be hard without a teacher tbh.
