Teacher of the Department of Translation. Professional certified translator with experience in translating and teaching English and German. I teach people in 20 countries of the world. My principle in teaching and conducting lessons is to move away from memorizing rules from memory, and, instead, learn to understand the principles of the language and use them in the same way as talking and pronouncing sounds correctly by feeling, and not going over each one in your head all the rules, since there won’t be time for that in real speech. You always need to build on the situation and comfort.

A language that crosses worlds

Urdu is a language that confuses expectations.

It uses the Arabic script — but it’s not Arabic.
It sounds almost identical to Hindi — but it’s not Hindi.
Its grammar is Indo-European — but its imagery is Persian.
And even its name — اردو — means “camp” or “gathering”.

Urdu doesn’t just connect cultures. It was built to do exactly that.


Why people get it wrong — and what that teaches us

Many students come to Urdu expecting something complex and exotic.
But they quickly discover: Urdu is full of logic, rhythm, and emotion — if you approach it the right way.

It’s a language where:

  • sentences flow like verses,
  • meanings depend on formality and tone,
  • and grammar is simple but expressive — if you think in context, not in rules.

That’s why we teach Urdu through patterns, not memorization.


Online learning that fits the language

At Levitin Language School, we know that learning Urdu isn’t about copying charts or watching apps.

It’s about:

  • ✍️ Writing — so you can see how beauty is structured
  • 🎧 Listening — to catch the music of meaning
  • 🗣️ Speaking — with real emotion, not translations
  • 🧠 Thinking — in comparisons, structures, and feelings

Urdu is a language of nuance. And we train you to master it from the very first lesson.


What about Arabic or Persian?

If you already know Arabic — you’ll recognize the script, but be surprised at the grammar.
If you’ve studied Persian — many phrases and poetic ideas will feel familiar.
But Urdu has its own personality — one shaped by history, migration, and elegance.

We help you explore all of it — without getting lost in complexity.
