Why Learn Punjabi?

static block photo

The Punjabi language is one of the oldest spoken dialects in the world and the most widely used in Pakistan. The language’s roots go back to 600 BC, when it developed as an early Prakrit tongue in Asia. Today, Punjabi is spoken by nearly 150 million people worldwide, mostly in India and Pakistan. Punjabi’s two writing systems are Shāhmukhī (Pakistan) and Gurmukhī (India). The language’s dominance in those two countries is reflected in its dual regulatory agencies, the Pakistani Punjab Institute of Language, and the Indian Department of Languages.

Once you learn the Punjabi language, you’ll gain access to one of the world’s most enduring cultures. People also want to learn Punjabi to connect with relatives in India and Pakistan, to advance their careers, or simply because they’re curious learners!

Common Questions About Learning Punjabi

Is Punjabi a difficult language to learn?

Punjabi has its roots in ancient Sanskrit, which is completely foreign to native English speakers. It’s considered a difficult language to learn for many people, but it’s considerably less difficult with Pimsleur! As you study Punjabi, you’ll enjoy interesting, immersive courses and lessons, all based on the Pimsleur Method. By focusing on your oral (speaking) and aural (listening) capabilities, you’ll learn Punjabi in the most efficient way possible. And it won’t seem difficult at all – in fact, you’ll have plenty of fun on your learning journey

How long does it take to learn Punjabi?

The conventional way to learn to speak Punjabi of yesteryear was plenty of textbook lessons, grammar exercises, and speaking exercises. Pimsleur has bucked that conventional wisdom with our cutting-edge learning techniques. Instead of taking months to start to learn the language with outmoded Punjabi courses, you can start to learn the Punjabi language in a matter of weeks. And even after your very first day with our Punjabi lessons, you’ll be able to speak basic phrases and words. Compressed learning curves define the Pimsleur way of learning Punjabi – sign up with a Premium or All Access subscription and see for yourself!

What are the main challenges when learning the Punjabi language?

Pronouns are highly contextual in the Punjabi language, and their proper use demands a solid understanding of proper usage. There is also frequent use of inflection in Punjabi, which can modify words in terms of aspect, case, definitiveness, and more. These are just some of the challenges you’ll face as you learn the Punjabi language. And you’ll take them head-on with Digital Flash Cards, Core Lessons, Quick Match, and much more. The exceptional learning platforms turn potential roadblocks into stepping stones toward success, and Pimsleur delivers in this regard.

How important is pronunciation in learning Punjabi?

Pronunciation is the single most important factor as you learn to speak Punjabi. Given the language’s complex assortment of more than 10 vowel phonemes (sounds), with sophisticated use of nasal analogues, it’s critical that you learn a completely new way of speaking. Approximately 40 consonant phonemes add to the intricate nature of Punjabi pronunciation. To learn Punjabi the right way, you need a learning system that accounts for all these challenges and more. That’s why we developed our popular Voice Coach with AI pronunciation feedback tool.

Are the Punjabi lessons suitable for complete beginners?

Absolutely! Our courses are perfect for novice learners since we help everyone learn like a child by listening and speaking the Punjabi language. You don’t have to know one word of Punjabi to start learning today! Pimsleur’s lessons are flexible and accessible enough for anyone to learn Punjabi, including you!
