🔥 Why is Urdu so challenging and are there ways to learn it faster?

Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Urdu.

🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Urdu?
Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Urdu will demand at least 600 hours of dedication. The length of time can differ a lot depending on your current level of Urdu or familiarity with other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in Urdu out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Urdu classes online.
