Biggest challenges for Urdu speakers learning English

If you know what’s hard in advance, you can learn faster. These are the main things that slow down Urdu speakers when they learn English.

  • Urdu is written right-to-left and uses the Nastaliq script — opposite of English
  • Urdu is SOV — the verb always comes last, opposite of English SVO
  • Urdu has no articles — 'a', 'an', and 'the' are entirely new concepts
  • Urdu uses gendered nouns and verbs — English has no grammatical gender

Focus on one challenge at a time. Small daily practice beats long study sessions.
