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.

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.

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!

I was looking for a basic introduction to Urdu, including the script, so that I could initiate a study of some of the classic poets. I believe this text does just what I am looking for. In order to study the poets I'll need additional resource material, of course, but this text will set me on the right path.

I think it's a very good book and it helps my in my Universitary studies.
I really need a book which could explain me the Urdu grammar in a simply way, as this book does.

"Urdu for beginners" by your father is great and I am looking forward to its new comprehensive edition with great anticipation. But, you did not tell when this new edition will come out, at least tentatively. Please do provide this info.
