Title: This book and $6.06...
Review: ...might get me a cup of coffee at Starbuck's. Read one of the reviews that raved about the Urdu script in this book as being such a useful tool. Perhaps it is, but that was not my need. I purchased it to translate written. romanized Urdu, as well as learn the written language.My first 38 words to translate, were not even in the book. I'm not speaking of obscure dialog or anything of the sort. Merely common terms used by Pakistani's everywhere.After that disappointment, I thought I'd be clever and write something to my Pakistani friend, in Urdu. Her response was: "Huh?! What r u trying to say." after hashing it out for thirty minutes, my friend, (who teaches English and translates to Urdu) made the corrections that ranged from, words she's never heard of, to words not spelled this way etc.I will be searching for a comprehensible Urdu dictionary, hoping to find one soon so I can give this one to my two Boxer dogs for a toy!A major disappointment and waste of money!
