"I am a soldier stationed in Pashtun, Afghanistan. With this awesome product, I have built a solid foundation in the Pashto language in just two months, which I use every day with astonished Afghans ... .
Some of the cultural points are extremely useful, such as which subjects are best avoided in casual conversation. As various forms of ignorant speech can do a great deal of trouble in all cultures, it's very good that the lessons include these warning points."
~ Philip Martin, 1st Special Forces Group, 1st Battalion
