I am trying to take a trip to Pakistan and I want to learn the local language in preparation. The area I am focused on (Skardu and a few other areas in Gilgit-Baltistan) seems to speak Balti but it's not exactly something I can find on duolingo. To make things worse I really struggle with self-guided unstructured learning so I am not the kind of person who can just pick up a textbook and learn. Do you know how to connect with a teacher who can teach Balti or a course I can take? I am comfortable with online learning. Also my native language is English.

Sorry for the late response Lambie. I sent an email to the Head of Department Languages and Cultural Studies Dr. Issa and will see if I get a response. Thanks for the advice. – Smol_Brain Feb 08 '24 at 19:33

Oh great. I am sure they have some student there or even professor that might give you lessons. Good luck! – Lambie Feb 08 '24 at 19:59
