| In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question "What is your name?" In Urdu this is... |
| Hamza: آپ کا نام کیا ہے؟ |
| Alisha: The first phrase in the question is... |
| Hamza: آپ کا |
| Alisha: meaning "your" in English. |
| Hamza: (Slow) آپ کا |
| Alisha: Listen again and repeat. |
| Hamza: آپ کا |
| {Pause} |
| Alisha: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is- |
| Hamza: نام |
| Alisha: meaning "name" |
| Hamza: (Slow) نام |
| Alisha: Now repeat. |
| Hamza: نام |
| {Pause} |
| Alisha: Listen to the first three words of the question and repeat. |
| Hamza: آپ کا نام |
| {Pause} |
| Alisha: Next is... |
| Hamza: کیا |
| Alisha: meaning "what" |
| Hamza: (Slow) کیا |
| Alisha: Now repeat. |
| Hamza: کیا |
| {Pause} |
| Alisha: And last is... |
| Hamza: ہے |
| Alisha: meaning "is" |
| Hamza: (Slow) ہے |
| Alisha: Now repeat. |
| Hamza: ہے |
| {Pause} |
| Alisha: Listen to the entire question and repeat. |
| Hamza: آپ کا نام کیا ہے؟ |
| {pause} |
| Alisha: You’ll hear this common question again and again throughout your studies. Master the following pattern and responses to the question "What is your name?" |
| Hamza: میرا نام انا ہے۔ |
| Alisha: "My name is Anna." Listen again as you hear the phrase slowly. Then repeat the phrase. |
| Hamza: (Slow) میرا نام انا ہے۔ |
| {pause} |
| Alisha: Let's break it down from the beginning. The first word is... |
| Hamza: میرا |
| Alisha: meaning "my" |
| Hamza: (Slow) میرا |
| Alisha: Now repeat. |
| Hamza: میرا |
| {Pause} |
| Alisha: Next is... |
| Hamza: نام |
| Alisha: meaning "name." |
| Hamza: (Slow) نام |
| Alisha: Now repeat. |
| Hamza: نام |
| {Pause} |
| Alisha: And last is... |
| Hamza: انا |
| Alisha: meaning "Anna." |
| Hamza: (Slow) انا |
| Alisha: Now repeat. |
| Hamza: انا |
| {Pause} |
| Alisha: Listen to the speaker say "My name is Anna." and then repeat. |
| Hamza: میرا نام انا ہے۔ |
| {Pause} |
| Alisha: To expand on the pattern, let’s replace "Anna" with "Oscar." |
| Hamza: آسکر |
| Alisha: "Oscar" |
| Hamza: (slow) آسکر (regular) آسکر |
| Alisha: Listen to the phrase again, this time with "Oscar." |
| Hamza: میرا نام آسکر ہے۔ |
| Alisha: You’ll see that it’s almost the same. Simply replace "Anna" with "Oscar." Now say, "My name is Oscar." |
| {pause} |
| Hamza: میرا نام آسکر ہے۔ |
| Alisha: Let’s try another and replace "Oscar" with "Marie." |
| Hamza: میری |
| Alisha: "Marie" |
| Hamza: (slow) میری (regular) میری |
| Alisha: Listen to the phrase again, this time with "Marie." |
| Hamza: میرا نام میری ہے۔ |
| Alisha: Again, it mostly stays the same. Simply replace the name "Oscar" with "Marie." Now say, "My name is Marie." |
| {pause} |
| Hamza: میرا نام میری ہے۔ |
| Alisha: For more practice, replace "Marie" with "Peter." |
| Hamza: پیٹر |
| Alisha: "Peter" |
| Hamza: (slow) پیٹر (regular) پیٹر |
| Alisha: Listen to the phrase again, this time with "Peter." |
| Hamza: .میرا نام پیٹر ہے |
| Alisha: Again, all you have to do is replace the name. Now try saying "My name is Peter." |
| {pause} |
| Hamza: .میرا نام پیٹر ہے |
| Alisha: Now it's time for a quiz. Imagine you're visiting Pakistan and someone asks you your name. Your name is Anna. How will you answer? |

| (5 seconds) |
| Hamza: آپ کا نام کیا ہے؟ |
| {pause} |
| Alisha: Now it's time to answer the question with your own name. Be sure to practice out loud! |
