Our Term 1 Introductory Urdu 101 class is specifically designed for adults (and older teens) who do not know how to read, write or speak the Urdu language, who who are unfamiliar with the Nastaʿlīq (نستعلیق) script.

Term 1 Introductory classes began with learning Nastaʿlīq script, writing and reading practice, and include basic introductory grammar and some conversation. Term 2 classes will continue with Nastaʿlīq reading and writing practice, and will continue with introductory grammar, vocabulary, and conversation. Adults and older teens who already understand and speak Urdu, but who do not know how to read and write in Nastaʿlīq, may chose to enroll in the Term 1 course only.

Introductory Urdu 101 is being offered this year on Tuesday afternoons from 4:00-5:30pm. Term 1 classes begin on Tuesday 11 February 2020 and run for eight successive weeks, with the last class of the Term held on Tuesday 31 March 2020. Subsequent classes (Urdu 102, 103, and 104) will be held in the same time slot for the rest of the year.

The course fee includes all teaching materials. Individual notebooks for note taking are not provided. Students must bring their own notebooks and pens/pencils.
