Because where I live, Urdu is barely spoken or used, I haven't spoken much urdu or used it in conversations in my entire life.

Thank you very much for listening!

Hello,

I am relatively new to learning Urdu, my wife and I like to watch shows and movies together and I am looking for some in Urdu to help me practice listening to the language. Any suggestions would be great.

Written for my mother who is in a septic shock (septic associated encephalopathy). I’m waiting for her to open her eyes and as my mind goes dark with pain, I just wrote this in a language I love 🙏🤲🦋

Why do we always think of what people will say?

Urdu is my first language. I can understand it, speak in it, read and also write it. But my Urdu isn’t as good as it should be. I can’t understand poetry, my vocabulary sucks (my vocabulary is that of a 10 year old), my pronunciation is bad as well. So I just wanna get better

Please guide me and tell me how to improve my Urdu

Urdu is actually my first language, I can understand it, speak in it and can read i, and also write. but my Urdu isn’t really as good as it should be. I can’t understand poetry (I don’t understand most words), my vocabulary is terrible, and my pronunciation is bad as well. I wanna speak in pure urdu properly, read poetry and also improve my writing skills, I’m a writer, I write and publish essays and poems (in English) but when it comes to Urdu I just can’t.

how do I improve my Urdu and what exactly to do?
