We’re joined by Aroosh Ahmed, who was born in Australia, yet her command of the Urdu language is truly impressive - and her mother, Huma Shami, who nurtured a home environment where the language was not only spoken, but deeply felt.
Together, this mother-daughter duo reads Urdu stories, keeps the language alive in everyday conversations, and during their recent first visit to Pakistan, Aroosh amazed everyone with how fluently she spoke Urdu.
Today, we’ll explore how all of this became possible. How can small daily habits at home lay the foundation for a strong cultural identity? And what practical activities can help children growing up abroad stay connected to their language and heritage?
