Bristol English Pashto is designed for people who speak Pashto and want to learn English.
The app helps you to learn English from the beginning.
You will learn to read easy English words and match these words to the corresponding Pashto words. You will hear the sound of the English words and you will also learn how to spell the English words.
The app is free and there are no ads.
You can use the app offline; you do not need an internet connection after the app is installed.
The app is small and does not use a lot of memory space on your phone.
Using the app is fun, you learn by playing games and the points you win are displayed.
There are two types of games.
First matching games;
You match English letters to the closest Pashto letter.
Next, you match short English words to the Pashto words.
The vocabulary has been chosen so that all the letters of the alphabet are gradually introduced.
This game helps you with listening, understanding and reading English.
Secondly there are spelling games;
In the spelling games, you will have a choice of six letters to spell the English word.
You will hear the names of each English letter so that you learn the names of all the letters in the alphabet.
To listen to the English word you need to spell, you can click on the microphone and hear the word spoken.
This game helps you with listening, understanding and spelling English.
People who speak Pashto often find the sounds of English short vowels (a, e, i, o, u) difficult to hear. To make spelling easier, the spelling games provide the correct vowels in the early games.
There are sixty games to play.
You can play a game as many times as you need to make sure that you can read, understand each word and know how to spell the new words. It is good to say each English word out loud, to practice speaking English.
Regular practice is best; ten minutes in the morning, ten minutes in the afternoon is the perfect way to learn from the app.
You can also use the menu to go back to earlier games to revise.
