Customer Reviews
Lots of information
The song played in the Urdu song isn’t Urdu - it’s Punjabi. The Urdu phrases he shared like shabakhair and khudahafiz come from Farsi, and are entirely different from Hindi. This episode could’ve been much further Clarified if the host had researched it properly.
Arabic episode
Farsi is spoken in Iran, not “Iranian”.... this episode is mostly reading facts about Arabic from wikipedia. No interesting insight included and ends up talking about terrorism 🙄
Mispronunciations & regurgitated Wikipedia notes
Mispronunciations in English and the language highlighted in the episode. Mostly seems to read off Wikipedia & plays the first song listed on YouTube for the most basic “[language] music” search.
