You still miss the subtext
You manage pleasantries, but when partners switch to fast Urdu among themselves, the real negotiation passes you by.
Your competitors deal directly
Chinese, Turkish, and Gulf buyers negotiate in Urdu with Pakistani suppliers. At a basic level, you're still at a disadvantage.
Your relationships stay surface-level
You can greet and small-talk, but you can't yet build the deep trust that comes from real, fluent conversation over chai.
The WhatsApp threads move too fast
Orders, pricing, logistics, all in rapid Urdu script. You read slowly and still need things explained.
