Urdu as a Foreign Language

This workbook is all about Urdu and specifically for adults learning Urdu as a Foreign language. Whether you are studying Urdu for personal reasons, you are a foreign student at a Pakistani university, a business professional and expat, or simply a language geek who loves to explore foreign languages – this book is for you. This workbook can also be used as a supplement textbook for academic institutions, where Urdu is taught as a Foreign Language.

Grammar

Grammar is like the glue that holds language together. It enables us to put words together so that it becomes intelligible communication. Without it, all we have is a series of words. Because of the central role of grammar in language, this book focuses solely on key grammatical structures in the Urdu language.

Workbook

We discovered that there are many books with grammar explanations, but hardly any resources to practice. Our desire was to create a book that will allow students to do just that. Each chapter is two pages long and focuses on one specific grammar point (e.g. the future tense, the use of adjectives). It is filled with a variety of fun, focused activities.

For Beginners

This workbook covers all the basic grammar structures a beginning student of Urdu will most likely encounter. All basic tenses, as well as the use of nouns, cases, adjectives, pronouns and some special features of Urdu (e.g., the use of “wala”) are covered.
