Wow, from where did they learn urdu? and didn't you tell your colleague that there was nothing to be proud of admitting that his urdu is weak? Didn't he feel embarrass in front of those kids?
they were being taught urdu in their school. They were students of class nine and had studied most of their subjects in urdu.
Its really nothing to be proud if you don't know your language. knowing your own language makes it easier to know other languages. I heard pure / theth Sindhi from my parents and grandparents ( some of our famly members including my Ammi don't speak anyother language). This helped me a lot to understand local languages like Saraiki, Punjabi, Hindko. This was possible as my family background provided me this opportunity. same happened with Urdu, if you know good Urdu, knowing Arabic and Persian is not a big game.
This is a debate urdu vs english, people can go on and on harping on the same string that why english is more important than urdu. I can understand sindhi , saraiki and hindko but, i can’t speak it
We had Saraiki and Punjabi family friends and I myself then have many Punjabi friends in college, so got opportunity to listen to them. Listening also play important part. Urdu is not my first language but I can understand and speak good Urdu as I listened good Urdu on media and read classic Urdu literature during school / college days.

we communicate daily with the kam wali's (all saraiki) that's how i learnt, i was introduced to sindhi first time in class 6 my teacher told me just once how to read and write it and i never had a problem after that but, i get confused with the sindhi accent that's where i stumble.
There is no better way to learn urdu than reading and watching classics.
so i have achieved the biggest part
