All the best wishes for your future. I'm glad about how excited and enthusiastic you are.

There is something technical here. In India, two variations of this language are spoken. Urdu and Hindi. They are close but written in different ways. Urdu is written in Arabic way with some additional alphabets, Hindi is way apart. As Urdu has 40% of its words taken from Arabic, it's easy to learn for Arabs.

I hope someone from Al-Khobar contacts you with his/her services.

Hi there!What you're doing will definitely earn u brownie points n go a long way towards cementing ur marriage.I married into an Urdu speaking family as well,n learning Hindi in school definitely made it easier to pick up.Where is ur husband to be from?there are different dialects,n as suggested already,watching TV shows r a great way to pick it up.Bollywood stuff is mostly in Hindi.There r a lotta Pakistani serials tht r in pure Urdu n sound so lyrical...
