How many new words have you learned? Do you have realistic goals?
I have learned almost two hundred fifty new words in Urdu. I can use some of them comfortably in a sentence or in a basic conversation but not all of them. Although, I do recognize and understand if these words come up in a sentence, paragraph, or conversation. I have to pay more attention to conversation in order to understand the words that I have memorized because it seems more difficult to catch the word in the conversation, but I can comfortably recognize these words on the written texts. I have learned some of my favorite words in Urdu such as (Duffah oja -Get lost, Khawfnaak Khawb- nightmare, Dost- friend, Paarty- party, raqas- dance, paarty ke ejaazat detaa hay-lets party). One of the funniest phrase that my language partner thought me is Barayee Mehrabani Kahaanaa lee aaw which means Please bring me food but in a really funny way among Urdu speakers. :P
