Pashtu Alphabet Book 2nd Edition

This alphabet workbook has been prepared with the intention to teach Pashtu alphabet to interested individuals in an easy and fun way and within a short period of time. Students are expected to read and write Pashtu script after studying and completing the entire book with all its exercises.

Second of all, students should be able to conjugate letters in a word and pronounce the words. Thirdly, students should be able to write when given simple words. In short, the goal of this book is threefold--to enable students' recognition including pronunciation of letters, conjugation of letters to produce a word and writing of words as well as pronouncing them.
