Why are we not taught Urdu in schools in the UK?
467299
There is actually a GCSE in Urdu and it is taught in some schools (though very few).  Spoken Urdu is very similar to Hindi (the script is completely different) and can come in handy if you are looking to work in local Government, especially if you have a high Pakistani population.  Personaly I'd like to applaud you for wanting to learn such a different language; most people cannot be bothered to even learn English properly.  There are many web resources on Urdu, and I have put some below.\n\nGood luck!\n\nAdam

I speak urdu and i put in a few words and it seems fine in its translation. Don't forget context plays a role too with different forms of dialect. Also the term for wedding is "shaadi" so the spelling may have been why it didn't go through, but the site seems fine for translation.

It's still allowed, as far as I know, in about 15 US States, mostly in the South.  The only ones I know for definite are Texas and Mississippi.\n\nHere in the UK it's been outlawed in all schools, public and private, for ten years or so.

Try looking online. I wanted to learn Punjabi which is my husband mother-tongue. I was able to locate a great website and it was free! It is nice to have someone help you, but the easiest way to start is by looking on a search engine. The site I found for the language I wanted to learn taught who to write the whole alphabet, pronounce the words, and even had lessons.

You know so many people just don't ask a question in a complete manner, that makes it a little hard to answer, as most of the people who want to help are not psychics. Good Luck....\nAs for maybe learning spanish in london, why not , you can learn it and use it all over the world. hope this helps.

Good question pal\nDo you think Benazir Bhutto or Gen Pervez are muslims, \nLOL, \nThey are Christians My friend, Only thier names sound muslims cause of the Language being Urdu.\nAll christians I knew from Pakistaan had names like, Liala Aktar, and Saleem Saleeba, Or Emad Sami Khan.\nand Hindus had names like Irfaan Mehter,  Lala Nawaz Amzaar.\n\nYou never know. LOL

Countries don't have zip codes, states do and not everywhere is in America.\nEnglish people use postcodes for counties, Pakistani's might use some other thing/method.

If you live in England you need to write to your local LEA (local education authority). I'm not sure if Tony will personally help you on this one!

Are you sure this is Hindi? I've never heard of these words. They could be Urdu words of Persian origin.

I know, as a former principal, I would never hire you to teach elementary aged children if you do not know enough to capitalize TX and USA as well as the UK. Sorry, but that shows a lack of knowledge of the English language and cetrtainly would model poorly for teaching children.
