Sample Lesson Breakdown
One short Pashto news clip, taken apart piece by piece.
1A 60-second Pashto news clip
«د پېښور ښاروالۍ ویلي چې د بسونو خدمات به زیات کړي، ځکه چې د مسافرو شمېر ورځ تر بلې ډېرېږي. خو خلک وايي دا مرسته د سمندر یو څاڅکی ده، او ستونزه پر خپل ځای پاتې ده.»
“Peshawar’s city council says it will increase bus services, as passenger numbers grow day by day. But people say the help is a drop in the ocean, and the problem stays where it was.”
23 phrases explained
- ویلي چېwayəli chi
- “Has said that.” The standard way Pashto news reports what someone said.
- زیات کړيziyāt kṛi
- “Will increase.” From ziyāt kawəl, to increase, one of the most common verbs in the news.

- “Day by day.” Something growing or changing steadily.
32 idioms decoded

About the Media course.
It helps, but it isn’t required. If you can’t read the script yet, we work from transliteration and audio first, and add the script as you go.
Whatever you actually watch or listen to: Pashto news, dramas, films, music, podcasts and YouTube. You share your favourites and I build lessons around them.
Most learners notice a clear difference within about four weeks of regular lessons. Real-speed listening drills and shadowing train your ear quickly.
Yes. Every clip is broken down into the phrases, idioms and colloquial speech people really use, explained in simple words.
