I can read, speak and write Urdu fluently and natively. However it is an extremely difficult language to teach and learn because it has no structure around it UNLIKE Arabic!
Problem 1 for Urdu People:
The biggest problem with Urdu (as inherited from Persian) is gender-neutrality. For example two words:
- Masjid
- Madrasah
Which one is masculine and feminine in Urdu and W-H-Y?
