Re: All you guppies living abroad!!
I think being bilingual or trilingual is a great skill...and best learned the younger you are...thus I would hope to have my children speaking urdu young and then perhaps teach them to read once they can read arabic for the quran. I have taken persian b/c urdu was not offerend in college and it did help my urdu reading but i'm out of practice and it takes ages...i can not write urdu.
I also took an urdu poetry class in college which I loved...amaizing..
