Learn Pashto with real humans
Pashto is the language of the Pashtun people, 50 to 60 million speakers in Afghanistan (co-official language with Dari) and in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. An Eastern Iranian language with a poetic tradition spanning several centuries (the poet Khushhal Khan Khattak is known as the 'Pashtun Shakespeare'), Pashto is written in the Arabic Naskh script with additional letters. With the massive exodus of Afghan refugees since 2021, the Pashtun diaspora in Europe has grown considerably, and Pashto has become an essential humanitarian skill.

Verified learner testimonials.
“Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.”
“What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.”
“Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.”
“Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.”
“The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.”
