  • Use the Roman Urdu spelling as a guide for unfamiliar sounds.
  • Practice one category per day; try to use 3‑5 phrases in real conversation.
  • Bookmark or save your favourite phrases for quick revision.
Pronunciation Tips for Urdu Speakers
  • English “th” (think, this) – place tongue between teeth. Practice with a mirror.
  • Short vs long vowels: “ship” vs “sheep”, “full” vs “fool”. Use our speaker icon to compare.
  • The “v” sound (very) – many Urdu speakers say “w”. Bite your lower lip lightly.
  • Word stress – English stresses one syllable. Listen carefully to which part is louder.
