Lets learn Baluchi with English Instructions:

[Zahida Raees Raji]

Dear brothers and sisters
Assalam-o-alaikum

It is our routine observation over net that so many Baloch fellows specially those, they are living out side from their homeland or living among non-Baluchi gathering does not speak and understand Baluchi.
 
Even they are interested to learn their native language but due to lack of availability of materials or institution they could not get their needs.

I would like to start a thread to provide our brothers/sister an idea how to present our language in front of learners.

Here I’ll share some short phrases with English instructions you can also guide me whenever you feel I am mistaking anywhere.

I am sure with our demo learning lessons learners will be able at least to understand their routine life terminologies in easy way.

We all are teachers and all are students so please don’t hesitate to learn new things and share whatever you know to your fellows.

Have a fun.

Thanks and Best Regards
Raji:
