you can speaking a langue and not make any sense but what is amazing about this guy is he is speaking like he knows the pakistan culture

[MariamARaine]

I'm like quarter Pakistani and I'm soooooo out of practice with Urdu.

@Saunga525 It's surprising because while we, in India and Pakistan, learn English for purely practical reasons- ranging from higher education to job opportunities; this guy seems to have learnt Urdu purely out of love for Pakistani and Islamic culture and literature. Besides, the level to which he has mastered the language is surprising. Many Pakistanis here seem to be saying that they can't speak their own national language as well as this guy.
