Pure pashtoon don't count like that. Instead, they count like this:

yawa, doa, drey..........................khatakey prey prey
doa, drey, tsaloor........................hasey maka ous shoor
drey, tsaloor,penza......................waya laas di wowenza
tsaloor auo pinza, shpag...............rata onesa ous ghuag
shpag, owa, atau........................rata negh di okatu
atau, naha, las...........................qisa khalasa shuala bas

^no dear it is certified by people of our motherland afghanistan that pashtuns of kp can only count in urdu...

Pashto counting is unique - I love it. Non-Pashtuns get impressed and confused when they first learn about it.

Lets not forget the kids! =)

Thanks! Between Admin Khan's post and tor_khan's thread I have made some flashcards for myself. This is a huge help, much appreciated.

@Janana
You can use the program Anki to make flashcards. It is much faster than making them by hand, and works perfectly. I've been using it myself for a long time and it is truly a great tool for learning languages among other things.

Try it out if you haven't already.

So can anyone confirm this?
