Why Learn Punjabi?
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!

Speak Punjabi with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Punjabi. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Punjabi language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
