Each short session teaches something new, has you practise it, and brings it back for review at the right time, so you remember what you learn. HOW IT WORKS • Learn: new words and phrases with native Pashto audio • Practise: recall words instead of just reading them, with feedback on every answer • Review: words you find hard come back when you're about to forget them • Progress: see what you've learned, what's due and which skills need work WHAT'S INSIDE • Alphabet: every Pashto letter, its sound and how it changes shape in a word • Lessons: vocabulary and everyday phrases, organised into units • Conversations: real dialogues with listening and response activities • Reading: short texts where you tap any highlighted word to see its meaning, plus comprehension questions • Grammar: clear explanations with practice, including the five Pashto yā letters (ی ي ې ۍ ئ) • Numbers: count and read numbers in Pashto • Your own modules: save words and build your own practice quizzes PRACTICE THAT FITS PASHTO Exercises include choosing the meaning, listening, spelling words from letters, arranging sentences, matching pairs, fill in the blank, and recognising letter shapes.

Learn Dari, Pashto, Urdu and Punjabi — plus 20+ more heritage languages the big apps skip. You pick the dialect, and the lessons follow. YOU PICK THE DIALECT Most language apps do not know the difference between Afghan Dari and Iranian Farsi, or Afghan Pashto and Pakistani Pakhto. Silq does. Choose the variant before you start and every lesson, phrase and script sample follows it. Those differences are a huge part of our heritage. LEARN LIKE YOU PLAY Silq turns language learning into a game. Earn points, unlock levels and build streaks as you work through vocabulary, phrases and real conversations. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Everyday conversational phrases Family and cultural vocabulary Numbers, greetings and essentials Native script alongside transliteration, so you can read it and say it Reading and pronunciation fundamentals LANGUAGES AVAILABLE Persian / Farsi (including Afghan Dari) Pashto (Afghan and Pakistani Pakhto) Urdu Punjabi (Pakistani and Indian) Tajik Uzbek Arabic (Egyptian, Syrian, Palestinian, Sudanese, and more dialects soon) Gujarati Tamil Telugu Malayalam Sindhi Kurdish (Kurmanji and Sorani) Marathi Kazakh Sinhala Nepali Kyrgyz Turkish and more coming WHY SILQ Many mainstream apps do not cover Pashto, Dari, Sindhi or Sinhala at all. Silq was built to fill that gap — giving diaspora speakers a way to learn the language their grandparents spoke, their parents tried to teach them, and they always meant to get around to. PERFECT FOR Diaspora communities reconnecting with their roots Parents teaching their kids the mother tongue Adults who understand the language but cannot speak it Heritage learners honouring their family history Anyone curious about Central and South Asian languages FREE TO START Silq is free to download and free to begin.
