Other than that, Urdu textbooks are ok as well. Urdu ki pahli kitab, Urdu ki doosri kitab, etc. I suggested periodicals as two birds, one stone.
History of Urdu Poetry by Mushahid Rizwi, very informative article : https://www.urduweb.org/mehfil/threads/اردو-شاعری-کے-آغاز-کا-پس-منظر.62029/ Dr Mushahid Rizwi is well versed in Urdu Poetry, His other articles can be found here; http://www.mushahidrazvi.com/2012/10/blog-post_3351.html?m=1 https://mushahidrazvi.wordpress.com/ https://www.facebook.com/share/1FsWpoZR33/
I have been often told to learn urdu via practice and continuous reading. I am able to read basic books, albeit, I must stop every few sentences to look up new words. Can anyone suggest what kind of books I can read as a beginner to practice Urdu, and what kind of books I can advance with? JazakAllah
