Why Learn Urdu?
Urdu is the national language of Pakistan and a prominent language in neighboring India. Nearly a quarter billion people speak Urdu – about 70 million speak it as the first language, while another 175 million people use Urdu as their second language. Aside from Pakistan and India, there are also small pockets of Nepal, South Africa, Bangladesh and Afghanistan that speak Urdu. Three major dialects (Deccani, Dhakaiya, and Judeo-Urdu) define Urdu, which is regulated by the National Language Promotion Department in Pakistan.
Learning Urdu is important if you’d like to connect with relatives, travel to the Indian subcontinent, or simply learn more about some of the world’s oldest cultures. And Pimsleur® puts you on the path to speaking Urdu conversationally, thanks to the Pimsleur Method™. This scientifically proven technique uses four key components to help you learn Urdu quickly: Organic Learning, the Principle of Anticipation, Core Vocabulary (Pacing), and Graduated Interval Recall.

Speak Urdu with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Urdu. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Urdu language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
