Urdu Learning & Facilitation Philosophy
The daily lexicon we utilise to speak in Hindi is brimming with Urdu influences. Additionally, Bollywood is an inescapable part of growing up as an Indian. Urdu & its facets have already been entrenched into our mind subconsciously.
At the most basic level, the predominant role of an effective facilitator is to simply draw out a sense of awareness and observation of the nuances of this beautiful language, so as to develop a working relationship with it.
At a slightly advanced and equally imperative level, it is the facilitator’s duty to infuse their sense of joy and passion for Urdu into avid learners they meet with and help them find their own sense of intimacy with the language & its literary works.
Hence the learning sessions are largely interactive and rely on the learner bringing their curiosity & enthusiasm into each session.
