Technology in Urdu
This module builds your Urdu vocabulary for technology: the things you use, like a laptop and a network, and the things you do, like calling and sending. Remember that Urdu is written in the Arabic script and read from right to left. Meet each word paired with its English meaning, then practise until you know them.
The things you use
Start with four things you use for technology. Each Urdu word is shown with its English meaning.
A thing, or something you do?
It helps to sort the words into things you use and actions you do.
