Teacher’s pick
Muneeb was a great teacher. He knew I had some background in Farsi and used that to explain some Urdu concepts to me. He provided lesson documents for me to use, which was helpful, and now I can revisit them. It felt very structured, which is what I need out of language learning. I have a tiny amount of background in Urdu, but I want to make sure my foundation is strong before moving forward so we started at the beginning with vowels, the alphabet, pronouns, and sentences. I really enjoyed going through sentences. He said he'll help me learn to read Nastaliq so that I can do it independent of him. Practising sentences makes me feel like I'll be close to conversational soon! He was prompt in showing up at our scheduled time. We had some connectivity issues, but it's difficult to tell which one of us had the connection problem, or if it was both of us! It was probably me, because he was saying he could see/hear me OK throughout, but I was losing him/he was freezing.
