If someone knows Urdu can they easily learn Persian (Farsi)?
My friend can speak, read and write Urdu and she wants to know if Persian would be easy for her to learn? Are they both similar languages? Or should she learn Arabic? But Arabic is more difficult compared to Persian right?

Urdu has nothing to do with Persian. Probably very limited vocabulary. And no, when you want to learn Persian you need to decide if the aim is communication or ''reading and writing''. Because street Persian is completely different from formal/proper Persian. (In Iran)

Persian and Urdu for the most part have no affiliation other than being classed into the wider branch of Indo-European languages, Urdu uses a Persian or Pashtun writing transcript to my knowledge but the language itself is a general branch of other South Asian Indo-Aryan languages like Punjabi and Hindi. Urdu does have a lot of words which are derived perhaps from Farsi such as 'Bachay' (Meaning children) but ditto with Hindi.

urdu,persian and arabic are very similar,40 percent words are common among these languages,95 percent alphabets are also similar,so it's very easy for a urdu speaker to learn arabic or persian,and also persian speakers can learn urdu faster too.

Yes, Persian and Urdu are related [ both Indo-Iranian languages] - even though they use an Arabic script, they have no relation to Arabic at all, so it would be much more difficult - it's a Hamito-Semitic language, related to Hebrew.
