5.0 out of 5 stars clear and invaluable self study tool, 7 Nov 2008

By	Alice (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Teach Yourself Urdu Book/CD Pack (Teach Yourself Complete Courses) (Paperback)

As a language teacher myself, I really appreciate the thought that has gone into producing this course book. The language structures and vocabulary are systematically and progressively introduced so that you don't get swamped by too much new stuff at a time. And new language learned is recycled in later chapters so that it sticks in your head. A typical chapter contains 3 dialogues (the book follows the adventures of John in Karachi) which are also on the CD. After a translation and vocabulary glossary, a few grammar points are explained after each dialogue. There are a couple of written/oral/aural exercises that go with each dialogue. There is a word glossary at the back, as well as keys to the exercises.

This is NOT an easy course. But if you take it slowly, a few pages at a time, and review what you have learned often, it offers a very thorough grounding in Urdu. The topics are useful, covering everyday conversation and situations. In my opinion, the CD is essential as Urdu pronunciation is rather tricky for English speakers. It also helps you to memorise the dialogues.

I agree, the Urdu print is small for beginners and there is no guidance for handwriting. As I already had a grounding in Arabic, this was no big deal for me. For complete newcomers to the script, try the Teach Yourself book on this topic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand and well layed out., 16 Sep 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Urdu Complete Course (Teach Yourself (Teach Yourself)) (Paperback)

My opinion of this book is quite mixed. I like the way that the chapters and pages are layed out. The dialogues are great. The only real problem that I had with this book is that the Urdu script is very small. For a person who can already read Urdu I am sure it is fine but for someone who is trying to learn it can be difficult to distinguish the similar looking letters.

4.0 out of 5 stars A helpful aid, 27 Sep 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Urdu (Teach Yourself) (Paperback)

This book is a good starting point for picking up basic grammer and sentence structure covering areas such as greetings, directions etc.

The urdru script is very small and often difficult to read - especially as later chapters do not include phonetic translations.

Helpful if you are taking classes as well but may be a struggle alone - the tapes are worth getting to help pronunciation
