Have you ever wondered…
Why do our elders just expect us to know how to speak Punjabi?
Why can’t they just explain the rules?
Let’s break it down.
Our elders, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, learnt Punjabi through modelling and copying.
Everyone around them spoke it. All day. Every day.
Punjabi (especially in Punjab) isn’t taught as a language in the way English or French is taught.
So they were never taught the rules, which means they don’t actually know the rules to explain them.
And then there’s us.
British or Western born.
Not surrounded by Punjabi speakers.
Trying to piece things together with fragments of vocab and half-heard sentences.
So of course it feels confusing.
That’s why learning Punjabi as an adult needs a different approach.
We need rules.
We need structure.
We need to understand how the pieces fit together, like a jigsaw, so we can confidently form our own sentences.
That’s exactly how I teach inside my Punjabi Speaking Programme.
Over 6 months, you’ll learn:
• How to use male and female words correctly
• The different types of verbs and when to use them
• How to pull a sentence together so it actually sounds right
And we don’t just learn it once and move on.
We practice through:
• Hands-on activities
• Quizzes
• Role plays
• And real-life speaking practice
Because knowing vocab isn’t the problem.
Most people I speak to say:
“I know the words… but the sentence just comes out wrong.”
That’s because Punjabi sentence structure is different from English.
So in my course, we focus on sentence structure from day one.
In every lesson, we look at:
• Why a sentence is built the way it is
• Where each word goes
• And then we practice using it, out loud, with role plays
This is how confidence is built.
