Description |
I am looking for a tutor/teacher who would be willing to work with me on listening comprehension as well as speaking skills. I would assess myself as an intermediate beginner. I can read and write Urdu script and can make my way through basic conversations about self and family. My reasons for learning are for both personal (family/frien ds) as well as professional (potential move to India within the next few years).
Thus far I have used various resources for self study including Rosetta Stone's Hindi program, The Teach Yourself Urdu Books (by David Matthews and Mohamed Kasim Dalvi) and the new text 'Let's Study Urdu'. I'm a fairly focused self-learner but need someone with patience to help me work on spoken verb drills. I have a sense of how the language works grammatically I'm trying to now push myself to speak comfortably and expand my working vocabulary. I prefer a conversation approach sort of like the Berlitz method, where there is verbal repetition of vocabulary and the concept until it feels 'natural'.
Due to geographic constraints I imagine lessons would take place over the phone or through a voice chat program like SKYPE. In regards to length of sessions, I am thinking 1-2 hours at a time with an almost conversation immersion approach. I am a graduate student (Non Urdu related) and sometimes my schedule can get hectic. In the beginning I'm thinking maybe 1 to 2 sessions a week, ideally in the evenings (EST) with the expectation that I would continue working/playi ng with the language between sessions so that we can quickly move onto the next concept.
