Pashto Tutoring FAQ
Pashto is one of the official languages of Afghanistan and it is the second most spoken language in Pakistan. Pashto is spoken by approximately 50 million people and it is divided into two separate dialects. Pashto is not a language that is typically taught outside of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Thus, if you wish to learn Pashto, you will most likely be working by yourself unless you connect with a private tutor. If you have been searching for "Pashto tutoring near me," contact Varsity Tutors so that we can help you connect with a Pashto tutor.
Here are the major concepts a Pashto tutor can cover:
Writing
Reading
Speaking
Culture
The Pashto writing system is based on an Arabic script. Thus, this particular writing system is likely to be very unfamiliar to students who speak English as a first language. The Pashto alphabet is made up of 45 letters and an additional 4 diacritic marks. This is very different than the English alphabet and can be difficult for students to learn. Pashto tutoring can be useful because a private tutor can work with students to learn the alphabet and from there learn the vocabulary.
In terms of vocabulary, Pashto borrows words from some of the Iranian languages. However, there are quite a few vocabulary words that are unique to the Pashto language. Learning vocabulary in a new language is one of the most challenging aspects of learning how to read and write in that language. Going through words in a textbook or going through flashcards can be long and tedious. Additionally, working with a language as unfamiliar as Pashto can be frustrating. Working with a Pashto tutor can be helpful in this regard because they can act as a guide and they can offer encouragement if you start to get frustrated. A private tutor can also work to identify what students are interested in and talk to you about those topics in Pashto.
This approach serves the dual purpose of keeping students engaged with the language while also giving students the opportunity to speak and listen to the language. Pashto is broken down into both a southern and northern dialect. Each of these dialects are then further broken down into subcategories based on region. If you have an interest in learning Pashto, feel free to contact Varsity Tutors so that we can help you connect with someone who can help you engage with the language.
