Hey, I was just wondering if anyone had a working link, or access to the audio materials from Pashto textbooks on the ERIC site (Habibullah Tegey). Apparently, the Indiana University website hosted some audio material for that course once upon a time, but that boat seems to have sailed.
These textbooks look like the ONLY decent resource out there and I'd love to utilize them, but they aren't much use to me without the audio. Any help would be greatly appreciated... Edited by JasonBourne on 03 January 2010 at 10:22pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

The materials from the old Indiana University site still seem to be available via the internet archive, although whether they'll always be downloadable there is an open question; accordingly, it might make sense to get them while you can:

Sweeet, thanks for that. Anyone know if any audio has been made for the Intermediate text?

There's a lot defense department stuff as well (for obvious reasons). Sorry I can't provide any links, but if you look you'll find it.

I've uploaded the audio to 4shared. There's one file from lesson 11 missing and one
MediaPlayer file in lesson 7 because the mp3 was missing. http://www.4shared.com/file/192775492/eb70d072/Pashto1-7.htm l http://www.4shared.com/file/193248144/f206f1eb/Pashtocon1.ht ml - Lessons 8-10 http://www.4shared.com/file/193304030/cfe203df/Pashtocon2.ht ml - Lessons 11-14 + pdf 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

For anyone interested, there's some additional Pashto instructional material with audio that can be downloaded here, along with some materials for Urdu and Punjabi:

If you work for the U.S. Government or especially for the Department of Defense, there is an interesting resource called "Tactical Pashto." It's structured like an immersive video game. Do a Google search and you will find it and instructions on how to access it. The website says you need a ".mil" e-mail to download the software.

I got the ERIC Pashto course put into book form (at $250.00), in four volumes. The Center for Applied Linguistics had a set of tape cassettes for that course, which they would casually loan out for 2-3 days. I don't know if they still do. You had to be in Washington, which I was at the time, and CD's did not yet exist. Now, I am searching my home for the copies I made. If I find them and haven't mistakenly discarded them, I have the means to convert my tape copies to CD's. ERIC has said that they will no longer make paper copies from their fiches. This means that the user must either photocopy the fiches in a library or have a fiche reader available.
I don't know where you live, but I first learned Pashto pronunciation from an Afghan friend from Kendahar. I find that the ERIC course gives quite different pronunciation. See http://www.cal.org/ for the Cent. for Appl. Ling. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
