No, I haven't read them all. Palatine Send a noteboard - 12/08/2010 08:08:14 PM
I'm not sure you've read all the replies in the thread, because some of them have significantly more info. Short summary: they've been together for 2 years, his gf is using this present month of Ramadan to see whether she thinks they should move on together and come out to the family, or break up. If they do come out to the family, I'm certain expectations will be of a marriage within the next couple of years. In that case, he will no longer be "just the boyfriend".


Good for them. When it reaches the state of expected marriage, then it's a great idea for him to learn Urdu. For now, I think he should hold off. And this is a bad thought: I hope she doesn't use his decision to learn it as a factor in whether they should "move on."

It shouldn't be too hard to find a book + CD you can learn from. Why is software so important? *NM* Tim - 11/08/2010 05:38:48 PM 368 Views

Yeah, it would be silly to waste your time on Devanagari when you need to learn the Arabic alphabet. Legolas - 11/08/2010 05:48:22 PM 828 Views

Because she speaks to her family/friends in her language and doesnt want me left out Dark Knight - 11/08/2010 06:38:00 PM 727 Views
