Beginning Fall 2015, the Hindi-Urdu Language Program is offering a
new course, “Conversational Hindi-Urdu” (HNUR 1005), which has been designed and customized
to meet the needs of students with different backgrounds and purposes. It is
targeted at students who want to acquire only conversational skills without
focusing on the Hindi/Urdu script and writing and reading components.
