History of the App

The LearnUrdu app was originally created by developer Zeshan Sajid as a Blackberry 10 application that has now now been ported to the Tizen platform as part of the Tizen Dev Lab held in London. LearnUrdu is suitable for the Tizen platform due to the opening of the Tizen store targeting the Asia region first. Furthermore, the release of the upcoming Samsung Z1 in India, allows the application to be of use, due to many people within India speaking Urdu.

The application LearnUrdu has three main tabs, that allow users to easily learn the Urdu language in a sequential order increasing in difficulty, as the user understands more. The Basics tab features common phrases and techniques with interactive voice translation to allow user to learn the correct punctuation of words. The Videos Tab collates popular Urdu tutorial videos from YouTube to allow the user to learn in an interactive manner. Furthermore, the Alphabet Tab permits the user to learn, how to spell and speak each letter of the Urdu alphabet, once they have completed the Basics and Videos Tab.
