"Kitab", "jaldi", "tez", "mohabbat", "mazaq", "aqyl", "vazir". Such words sound really familiar, don't they? However, it's not only Arabic or Persian and even Turkish. These words are also met in Urdu. It's also called "Lashkari zaban", which means "the language of warriors".
Urdu language belongs to the Indo-Aryan language group, as Hindi. It is spoken in Pakistan and India and considered to be almost similar to Hindi. But Hindi uses Devanagari alphabet and kept some ancient Sanskritic lexicon, while Urdu uses Arabic alphabet and includes Arabic and Persian words more. So, we cannot claim that Urdu and Hindi absolutely similar.
Will learning Urdu be easy to learn? I would ask two questions. First of all, I would ask: "what is your native language?". If you are from Middle East or Turkic speaking country, learning Lashkari zaban will be less challenging than for others, as some lexicon and grammar structure is almost similar. Then I would ask more important question: are you ready to do your best in learning Urdu? If you are, then the first question will not be a barrier for it. Motivation to learn is much more important.
Some tips to learn Urdu language. Try to learn from native speakers. It would be priceless expearence and amazing practic for your speech and listening skills. My method is learning songs or poems. However, there is no need to force yourself. You must love it so that you wanted to listen to them again and again. Watching films, audio texts will also help to improve your listening. Why we had listening parts in English lessons at school? Obviously, hearing pronunciation and understanding information from the listening tasks improve your attentiveness. You can start from short texts, go to fairy tales and stories and finish wathing news or films.
Of course, the question about its easiness depends on you. Anyway, Urdu language is interesting thing to learn and natives will definitely appreciate your attitude to it.
