I still believe speaking the language helps. We have to make an effort too. I know living here for so long has made us think and speak in English comfortably. Rencetly, I have started to make an effort to speak more urdu, and punjabi too. But since we always spoke Punjabi at home, strictly, am perfectly fine with Punjabi and I guess even my urdu is still much better than a lot of Urdu speaking …lolllzz
