It’s great for English speakers learning urdu and urdu alphabet. Mostly a literal dictionary with a lot of vocabulary. I use it to find words starting with the letter of the alphabet that I’m practicing. However, a lot of the words are not used spoken and just found in literature. Still good practice.

Great little book. The only reason it is receiving 4 stars is because it doesn't include the amount of synonyms I had hoped for. But still a handy too. especially when looking for a quick word. Much easier to use than larger English/Urdu dictionaries as there are no long definitions to confuse you when you begin learning. I would recommend to anyone looking for a quick reference book to keep handy.

I ordered this book to be able to learn Urdu from my mother in law and slowly but surely came to find out that many of the translations here are in Pujabi, rather than urdu. It is nonetheless extremely helpful, but dialect does say a lot in Desi cultures, I think this should be strongly applied to the description of the book.

This little dictionary is awesome supplement in my Urdu studies. It is small enough to carry around in your book bag but big enough to read the Urdu script comfortably. I love the example sentences in this book and I love the vocab charts! The book also marks vocab that is only used in media/newspapers and not in real life conversations! This is a really wonderful learners dictionary. I have the Hindi one in this series and I love it as well. Teach Yourself, please make more Hindi/Urdu learning materials and please make some for other South Asian languages too! I just love your products so much!
