SDLC 110 Learning Journal #1

[David Burchard]

I found two resources that are very helpful for learning Urdu.  Neither of them were found directly in the Global Studio.  My language partner helped me find them.  Coupled with online resources they will serve as valuable textbooks for the entire semester.  Both resources are Urdu lesson books, entirely written in Urdu, and designed to teach children, which is great news for me because they both have pictures and bright colors as result (I admit that I am partial to pictures and bright colors).  One is especially helpful with phrases it includes, and the other is very helpful as it is a good visual reminder of how the letters in Urdu change when connected in a word.  He recommended them as material because I believe he found them to be helpful for his own learning.
