the gcse consists of 2 speaking and listening exams in which you will need to memorise what you will be saying in the exam.Marks will be given on your grammar,how fluent you are and on the urdu accent.Recordings of your voice will be stored on a memory stick and posted to the Aqa company(scary).Other urdu exams are reading and writing,writing as in a mental urdu exam with another urdu paper and an urdu essay/longer writing exam.:smile:

Well are you British born and if so did your family speak much Urdu with you because that makes the accent and grammar easy to get.

Thats pretty cool and admirable I guess. Too many British Asians of Pakistani heritage don't have much interest in their mother tongue as I've always found that people regard it highly to have another language. My family moved to the UK when I was 9 from Pak so for me it was the opposite; learning English from almost scratch.

Lol well I could read english but I couldnt speak or understand English when we came to the UK. Also we werent living in a diverse location but a totally White British Town called Tamworth (still live here) so when I began school 3 days after we arrived it was the weirdest experience of my life. The weird British accent and the speed at which everyone spoke meant all I could say was Hello, Yes/ No and Can I go to the Toilet (My mum taught me this one specially) :tongue:

I guess it helps being very young but I do feel proud of the fact that no one would ever be able to say I wasn't british born and bred if they met me now. All thanks to God I suppose.
