Finally I grasp the script!,

This review is from: Let's Study Urdu: An Introduction to the Script (Yale Language Series) (Paperback)
I've used other books - no complaint again the Teach Yourself Urdu Script - but now it is all clear to me. The different letter groups are taught in an easy to understand manner, the writing practice at the back is helpful, and the audio CD is very good because I can use it to grade myself on how well I cyphered out the practice words. And if you don't know Urdu script already, you will need it for the main Let's Study Urdu text book.

very good for its intended purpose,
By perekladach (Carbondale, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Let's Study Urdu: An Introduction to the Script (Yale Language Series) (Paperback)
This book is the best available source for learning to read and write the Urdu alphabet. Even learners very familiar with the Arabic alphabet will find plenty that is surprising and difficult in the nastaliq script which is the script of choice for Urdu writing- different forms of some letters, lots of unfamiliar letters, and different ways of joining letters. It's a beautiful form of writing, but it takes a lot of practice, which this book offers. There's a CD too.

This review is from: Let's Study Urdu: An Introduction to the Script (Yale Language Series) (Paperback)
This is an excellent book that teaches the Urdu script in a logical and organized way. The only thing that it is missing is the translation of the words. If I know how to write them and say them, it would be good if I knew what they mean. But for the script it is very useful.
