Re: Teaching kids the native language..
If my kids not going to speak proper Urdu as I do , AaaQ kardooN Ga UKP’oon ko … 
Even if we make sure that our kids understand Urdu, what are the chances of their kids being the same? For those who have moved out of Pakistan; to expect the 3rd and 4th generation to still be speaking the native language is probably expecting a bit too much. If it happens, great. If not, just live with it.
exactly.
