To clarify: "To urge" is to attempt to convince. Do not confuse this with the noun form ("I have the urge..."). If I urge (verb) you to learn another language, I am trying to convince (verb) you of the benefits of learning another language. If I convince you to learn another language, it means you have listened to my point(s) of view and agreed that it would be beneficial to learn another language. However, "to have an urge" is something else.

1.) Urge, is to have the desire to do something. 2.) Convince, is something you have to prove to someone. For example: 1. ) I have the urge to finish my homework, so I can go outside with friends and play. 2. ) Last week, I wanted my friend to see a movie with me, it was suppose to be a really good movie. My friend did not want to see it, because they thought it might be boring, but I convinced them to see it and they really liked it.
