About
Dr. Ayesha Siddiqui wrote her doctoral thesis on Urdu orthography at JNU and has spent 15 years turning that scholarship into the gentlest possible on-ramp to the script. Her method — letters in families, words from day one, poetry labels from week two — has taught over 60,000 learners to read and write Urdu. She believes the script is not a wall but a doorway, and her students walk through it faster than they ever expect.
