Practical exercise

Read aloud and record, your first listen back

Reading out loud is one skill. Hearing yourself read is a different and much sharper skill. Today you will read a tiny passage in both Urdu and English, record it on any phone, and listen to yourself once. That single act of listening will teach you more than ten lessons.
