[edit] A Plan for the Module
This module needs a plan if it is to become a useful resource for people wishing to learn Urdu. Here's a proposal to get us started; I can't go much further than this, but I'm sure someone else out there can.
Also, a template would make it easier to navigate from one page to the next, from exercise to answer key, and from section to section. --Skoosh 22:32, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I did something making the template like Template:Japanese. I don't know Urdu so I obviously can't write to much, I hope to maybe learn some while doing this though. I think Japanese is a good model of athorough language book although some features of Arabic are not bad. I like how French has both languages for the lesson titles but I don't particularly care for its introduction page -- its Appendix structure also looks pretty decent. gren グレン 20:19, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
I created Urdu:Table of contents which I hope will help us develop our format... much (all?) of what you said was included into it and it should be our layout on how to procede. gren グレン 20:35, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
This is likely not the best way to go about it... but, I am stealing information from wikipedia in an attempt to give background on some of the subjects. It should be modified for the purposes of the book but I believe for now it it better than nothing. gren グレン 05:08, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
