MBC Bollywood for learning urdu

Thanks a lot Priscilla    great advice

Hi Hamoudi  I thought I had greater opportunity in real life at Riyadh, maybe I can get fair and real skills during 1 - 2 years in the streets, Pakistani restaurants, grocery stores etc, however Arabic speakers are capable to learn 30% faster more than others.

Thanks, you do understand. But some people are so insensitive to others (human, culture, language, creed) when they think everything of theirs is superior to others and deep down they can't even manufacture a needle by themselves and talk about those people who have reached moon !!

I'm sorry? Do you have basis of this statement?

My friend Urdu is written in Arabic Nastaliq script, Urdu written from right to left, Urdu vocabulary borrows about 40% from Arabic and Persian.
Here you go:

If time allow me I'll explain more regarding to my personal investigation either, I'd do it for sure.
Thanks for seeking facts I'm absolutely believe in this way of getting knowledges!

I do understand my friend, but my perspective is only about human tolerance & diversity culture away from production rates and economic success!
Good luck
Ahmed

Maybe you are just referring to languages which has touch of Arabic. Coz so far, I got very rare Arabic speakers who can fluently speaks English.

The reason I ask is, I just wanna know if there's a study which is conducted behind the claim.

Very true. It's all relative. I'd say Arabic is a different band of language which is by far different from other bands; say English. And languages which fall in the same band look similar and easier to learn for the people with their first language in the same band. But that's not the only criteria. There are many other factors as well.

In support of what you said:

It's interesting to see how different nationalities responded to English testing system in 2013.

Thanks, TLL for the info.
At least, we clear up something.

Dear Ahourani,

How are you doing?

I am interested with your idea. I am a Filipino with excellent Business and Conversational English skills with neutral accent. We can do our tutorials daily after 7 PM or Fridays at anytime. I can arrange a training room, but, you have to pick me up from Saba Street, Naseem and bring me back after. Please let me know. Thank you.

Cheers,

Ako
