    Pakhto learning in Pekhawar

    Salam people. I hope this is not random but I am traveling to Pekhawar, and maybe Kabul too, soon, to visit family and I wanted to do something productive in the meantime. I was wondering if anybody could please help me look for an advanced Pakhto course. I am already fluent but I want to become more familiar with reading and writing, and literature. I looked at options in Dubai and the course cost about $700-800 and here in the US, I would have to go out of state to take a Pakhto course which I can not do easily and it costs $1000+.

    So in sum, I think pekhawar is most convenient. I can visit and
    Live with my relatives and it's probably more affordable too.

    Please share suggestions people, thanks.

    In most Afghan provinces,you could take part in classes or courses for some time and gain fastly good experiences in writing and reading.
    Peshawar is also a good idea,alot of islamic literature is available there.
    High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.

      ^^ He want's to learn Pashto (the language) not islamic literature.

      @ Shamla khana - You should be able to find Pashto language tutors across Afghanistan and especially in Kabul. Usually there are tutors or courses to prepare students for "Kankor", university entrance exams. Or you might be able to get in touch with the Pashto language departments of the public universities, depending on which city you will be staying it.

      I can't say anything about Peshawar, but you can check with the department of Pashto at Peshawar University as well.

        Several US universities offer advanced Pashto courses.
        Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.

        A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

        For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


        The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

          Afghanistan2010:

          Salam wror. I was thinking Pekhawar might be better since that's where I intend on staying whereas I might only visit Kabul. Do you think I could find such a course easily in Pekhawar as well and is it okay if I'm starting in the summer. I think a university course may pose as a problem since I won't be there for a "semester" :/

          Ghorzang:

          Salam wror, I am actually a khor. Do you know how I can contact such tutors or agencies that offer the instruction I am seeking (even if it's in Kabul I might consider it)

          I appreciate your help (Afghanistan2010 and Ghorzang)

              بښنه غواړم، ما فکر کوه چې شمله ور ورور یې.

              We found a young tutor to teach basic Pashto to my brothers while we were in Kabul in 2010. I don't know where he might be right now, but I am sure you can find many.

              And since you are not a "Shamla war" wror, you should get in touch with Mirman Baheer. It is a group of active Pashtanas based in Kabul - they meet on a weekly basis. They have expanded to other cities as well, including Peshawar, but the branches are not that active I believe. I will message you one of the member's e-mail and you can get in touch with them. They should be helpful.

                Salam wror, thanks a lot. That would be really helpful. I should mention, though, that my Pashto is fluent. I just have trouble with reading, writing, and advanced vocabulary (like they use in the newspapers or in books, for instance.) I can read reasonably well too though because I know how to read the Qur'an well.

                Thanks again. I really appreciate it.

                  Ghorzang,

                  I received no reply from mirman baheer at the email you gave me.
