again the downside, you get to learn the language and cant help it but be able to read it

For instance I never learned farsi (persian) but can read it withour any difficulty, because i was taught to read and write urdu. Similarly i think people who can read arabic in arabic script should be able to read urdu or farsi too ? no ?

i was referring to mindset as in ppl don’t take URDU seriously at any level of life, starting from school to practical life. i myself studied in an urdu medium till grade 6th and then was booted into an all english medium school. not only i had to deal with subjects in eng but also with girls [b4 i was in an all boys school]…to this day…those first 6 years in an urdu medium school have helped me a lot to keep my urdu level [speaking/writing/reading] at par, not to mention with help from ibne safi’s novels and other other digests, novels etc. well the point is that sometimes u have to put an extra effort…don’t just limit urself to course books and take it as a just another subject to pass.
