Teach Yourself Urdu by David Matthews

"Teach Yourself Urdu" is a complete course in spoken and written Urdu. If you have never learnt Urdu before, or if your Urdu needs brushing up, this is the book you need. David Matthews and Mohamed Kasim Dalvi have created a practical course that is both fun and easy to work through. They explain everything along the way and give you plenty of opportunities to practise what you have learnt. The course structure means that you can work at your own pace, arranging your learning to suit your needs. The course contains: a range of graded units of dialogues, culture notes, grammar and exercises; a step-by-step guide to pronunciation; an Urdu-English vocabulary. By the end of the course, you'll be able to cope with a whole range of situations and use the language confidently. A cassette accompanies the book and is available for purchase either separately (0-340-86727-2) or as a pack with the book (0-340-86726-4).
