Poetry Courses

The objective of our Urdu Poetry courses is to get students familiar with the complex Urdu words that are oftentimes used in Urdu poetry. The instructor will translate all the words in a poem for the students, and the students will then be encouraged to discuss their analysis, observations, and thoughts about the poem and/or the poet. Classes typically last for 1 hour and 45 minutes, and usually two poems are covered in each class.
