"Learning Urdu here felt like stepping into a Mushaira poetry evening. We studied Ghalib's ghazals, watched Mughal-e-Azam with subtitles off, listened to Nusrat qawwali, and recited Faiz. I now read Urdu poetry in original Nastaliq."

"I'm a heritage learner — my grandparents spoke Urdu but I never learned the script. The trainers here were patient and structured, and the cultural modules helped me connect with my roots. I'm now confidently B1 and reading Manto."
