Dear Linguists,

 Some months ago I wrote to ask about materials for learning Urdu
(audio materials in particular). I recieved several helpful responses.
 Sanjaya Hettihewa (sanjayawam.umd.edu) recommended calling the
International Language Center in Washington, D.C. In addition to
dictionaries, the Center has _An Introduction to Hindi and Urdu_ for
$29.95 and _Urdu for English Speakers_ for $14.00. However, no audio
tapes are available. You can reach the Center at (202) 332-2894.
 Greg Thomson (gthomsongpu.srv.ualberta.ca) suggested contacting
Audio Forum at (203) 225-5400, which does indeed have audio tapes. A set
of nine tapes and the accompanying textbook can be bought for $185 plus
shipping charges. Audio Forum also offers a free catalogue.
 I would like to thank Sandy Cash (leongibbs.oit.unc.edu) and
AA Khan (aak2unix.york.ac.uk) for the further advice they gave. All
prices given above are in United States dollars.

 Thank you all!

 Melia M.E. Brush
