Humaira is back for E11! In this episode, learn about how to discuss the weather and ask others whether they like the heat (or the summer). We talk about how the rain in perceived here (in the West) vs. there (in South Asia). Some of the vocabulary in this episode include summer, rain, weather, picture and biryani. 

We also meet Leah, one of our listeners. She shares with US why she’s learning Urdu. If you want to share your reason for learning Urdu, please visit our website and use the voice recording tool to send us a message. Let us know if you have any questions about that. 

Be sure to translate the three questions repeated towards the end of the episode. Write your responses in the comments section below.

Side note, Urdu Seekhiye will be at the DC State Fair in September. If you happen to visit the state fair, be sure to come by and say hi! We’ll be looking for future interviewees.

Also, we’re in love with the music of Mughal-E-Funk, specifically the track titled Baber – which is what you hear in the intro.
