Academic Goals
The course will teach the Pashto Alphabet, grammar, dialogue and reading, with vocabulary, grammatical explanations, and exercises. Each class will begin by going over the exercises from the previous lesson, thereby reviewing that lesson before proceeding with the next one.
In addition to the material covered in the lessons, which will be passed out at each class meeting, there will be classroom conversation. The students will be expected to purchase the course materials. Each week, one student will make a presentation to the class, either a website or some other item of his/her own choosing. The class will take a Mid-Term around week six or seven, depending upon our progress.
While augmenting our lexicon all the while, we will be able to read, write and speak basic sentences in present, and past tenses. Handouts will facilitate all of the above mentioned. We will have a Final on the last class.
By the end of the semester, you can expect to have basic reading, writing, and speaking skills.

Prerequisites
This class is available to individuals who have a basic knowledge of Pashto and are familiar with its alphabet, basic grammar and sentence structure.
Academic Goals
Pashto II is a continuation of Pashto I and builds upon introductory skills. The class focuses on verb conjugations, prepositions, adjectives, and direct and indirect object pronouns and the future tense. Upon completion of Pashto II, students should be able to engage in more sophisticated conversations on a range of everyday topics. The students should also expect to advance their reading and writing skills.
In addition to the material covered in the lessons, which will be passed out at each class meeting, there will be classroom conversation. The students will be expected to purchase the course materials.
The class will take a Mid-Term at week 6-7, depending upon the material covered thus-far. The week after the Mid-Term we will learn the past tense. While augmenting our lexicon all the while, we will be able to read, write and speak basic sentences in both the present and past tenses. Handouts will facilitate all of the above mentioned. We will have a Final on the last class.
