For conversing those the two languages there's no longer a lots distinction yet to jot down and study they vary too lots. So with the help of studying everybody of those you will get a minimum of 50% (Oral, Listening) for the different language. And if have the possibility to income Urdu as you instructed then you gets in basic terms approximately a million/2 of Hindi too. After studying Urdu you could proceed for Hindi (analyzing and writing). :)
