My First English Book: Learn with Pashto & Dari

Synopsis

This is a comprehensive English learning course designed exclusively for absolute beginner Afghan learners. Created with a Duolingo-style approach, this course prioritizes simplicity, cultural neutrality, and a slow, clear progression through essential English concepts. Each lesson is structured for offline use in PowerPoint format, making it ideal for classroom teaching. The course features a green and white color theme with large, projector-friendly fonts and clear icons. Every English word and sentence is meticulously paired with its Pashto and Dari translation, ensuring a smooth learning experience.

Each lesson includes specific slides for titles, vocabulary with translations, listening practice, speaking repetition, multiple-choice exercises, matching activities, a review of key concepts, and a celebratory score slide. The focus is on practical language acquisition through interactive and motivating exercises, ensuring learners build a strong foundation in English in a culturally sensitive and supportive manner.
