3.0 out of 5 stars Good for learning script, December 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Urdu for Beginners (Paperback)

I bought this book in hopes that it would teach urdu in a phonetic manner, however it teaches urdu based on learning the script first and foremost. This is a good book, however, if you are interested in learning the urdu script.

5.0 out of 5 stars Next Edition, July 25, 2001

Jawad Zakariya (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Urdu for Beginners (Paperback)

Hi all,

This book was primarily written as an aid for teaching non-urdu speakers in a classroom environment. The writer (my father, btw) has taught urdu to foreigners for 25+ years. He is working on a new edition for this book which will be much more comprehensive and a stand alone book rather than an aid for teaching in class. I just thought this info. might be helpful.

Jawad.

"naved" (dubai) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Urdu for Beginners (Paperback)

I bought this book to help my daughter improve her Urdu reading speed and indeed this book was helpful in that regard. Simple explanations and clearly printed script make this book an ideal supplement for Urdu beginners... Go for it!
