Shifa is super reliable, always professional, and her lessons always fit my needs and interests. I like that she corrects me, and she gives me better ways of expressing myself in Pashto. When I started with her, I didn't know a single word in Pashto, and now I feel comfortable speaking. She has always been very patient. Wonderful teacher! For sure take lessons with her!

Another challenging but fun lesson with Abdul's daughter Shifa. Shifa pushes me to try, and although I can find some things difficult Shifa is very patient. We use a mixture of pictures, light conversation and having fun to help me learn. I know I still have a lot to learn but also that I have learnt so much compared to when I started. Thanks!

This is my 3rd lesson with shifa, really enjoying it as she explains everything in detail and makes it very easy :)

Today the teacher has introduced to me a very grammatically challenging topic - past tense. This is particularly difficult for foreign speakers because the grammatical rule does not follow the common rules that we see in other languages. These are different sentences with different endings, making the language quite challenging to learn. ما سیب وخوړلو ما مڼه وخوړله ما مڼې وخوړلې ما برګرونه وخوړل Fortunately, the teacher has introduced the grammatical rules in a very simple but enlightening way. This is my 10th class and I feel fortunate that I have learnt so much. Manana.

Shifa always offers me new vocabulary and ways of phrasing things. I like how she offers corrections and models correct sentence structure. She also going with the flow, happy to discuss anything that's on my mind. Keeping things fun has really helped me learn Pashto.

Just done my first lesson. Shifah was very informative and went through future lessons in great detail. Look forward to learning! :)
