Re: I do not like Urdu
I have an american accent in my urdu…and my siblings more so than i do. My parents speak urdu 100%. I spend more time telling my parents everything about my life and random facts of everything than my brothers do. I also spend more time chatting with my parents in genersal (with who are the only people I speak urdu with besides my urdu speaking cousins whom i visit once ever 4 yrs). As a girl, I’m simply more verbal with my urdu and hence have less of an accent.
Secondly, I also thinks it depends on how much desi dramas you watch at home. I met this girl who was born in the US and had flawless urdu, and I asked how she got that. ANd she said she started watching dramas.
Finally, I also think it depends on when you came to the US. If you were born in the US or moved here when you were very young, you are almost guaranteed an american accent in your Urdu- unless you have some other source of Urdu coming at you besides your parents.
