Text from ERIC
Audio from indiana language lab
It's not passworded. :)
I'm sure they're the same course because the English prompts on the MP3s match the book...

Great catch, onebir! I had been aware of the tapes on the IU site, but didn't know that they went with part of the [fairly extensive] Pashto materials produced by the Center for Applied Linguistics [CAL]. The other CAL materials for Pashto, including course books, readers, glossaries, and a large reference grammar, can all be found in PDF form by searching for "Pashto" on the ERIC site. [In some cases, there are two versions, but only the later, revised version is available in full.] I had been interested in these materials, but had had the impression that getting the audio from CAL might be fairly expensive, so your matching these items is very much appreciated.
There's another on-line Pashto course with audio available from a University of Minnesota site, which also has a course in Punjabi and some tapes of Urdu poetry:
http://lrc.lib.umn.edu/dsala.htm
The Pashto course on that site is rather limited, and I think deals with a different dialect.
Finally, Indiana University's Center for the Languages of the Central Asian Region [CeLCAR] is producing a multimedia Pashto course that should be available for purchase soon, along with some on-line materials. See their site at http://www.indiana.edu/~celcar/

Thought you'd like that :)
There is a lot of Pashto stuff on ERIC, so hopefully this'll make all of it useable...

I'm afraid that the Indiana university link is no more valid.
Has anybody saved the audio for Pashto Conversation manual in time?
daristani, are you sure it's a different dialect?

The Pashto materials on the Indiana site still seem to be available via the internet archive; try:

Sorry but I can't be certain on the dialect difference; I don't recall what led me to make that comment at the time, and I haven't tried to compare them since.
