Hippocrene Books Pashto-English / English-Pashto Dictionary & Phrasebook

単語は全てローマ字表記です。アラビア文字が使われいないので、パシュト語だけ話し、かつパシュト語のローマ字表記を知らないネイティブ相手の場合は使いずらいです。多言語を使用できる先生相手ならば、活用しやすいのかもしれませんが…。

Libro utile peccato non ci sia una uns traduzione Pashto Italiano

Very easy to read and learn from, thank you

This is a quick and ready phrase book to get one by in Pashto. It has about a hundred page dictionary which covers many common words. There are brief chapters on etiquette, introductions ( to people ), the airport, and others. The book measures 3.75 X 7 X 0.75 inches making it easy to put into a pocket or a purse. Not a book for the formal learning of Pashto, that could only be done in a class room. Overall I am well pleased with this book and will soon be using it as a Pashto guest is about to arrive!

This is, as other reviewers have pointed out, not for linguists. At a lower level it is great. I teach low level Pashto using Romanised transliterations and this is great for my students to either learn additional phrases rote or to gain additional vocabulary with which to construct simple sentances. Sure it would benefit from having script or more grammatical information but it is a cheap and simple book which gives beginners extra words with which to cobble together more or less correct sentences. A title of 'Phrasebook and Vocabulary List' might have been a bit more honest since the word 'Dictionary' implies that not only will there be a pretty comprehensive list of words but also that each entry will have a bit more information than this book provides.
