  • Online lessons covering vocabulary, grammar and conversation practice.
  • A quiz after every module, and a full test to finish — the Punjabi edition also includes the ebook and audiobook.
  • Three editions — explained in Punjabi, English or Hindi, same content underneath.

How it sounds (Punjabi edition)

Ciao, come stai?

ਚਾਓ, ਕੋਮੇ ਸਤਾਈ?

Hi, how are you?

Io sono di Toronto.

ਈਓ ਸੋਨੋ ਦੀ ਟੋਰਾਂਟੋ।

I am from Toronto.

L'acqua, per favore.

ਲਾਕਵਾ, ਪੇਰ ਫ਼ਾਵੋਰੇ।

Water, please.

Each phrase in the course comes with its pronunciation written in Gurmukhi, the way you'd naturally read it.

Your first five letters

  • अa
  • आaa
  • इi
  • ईii
  • उu

The first vowels of Devanagari. Hindi's script is phonetic — once you know a letter's sound, you can read any word that uses it.

Punjabi, from the first letter

Learn to read and write Gurmukhi from zero. For heritage speakers who talk but don't read, and for anyone starting fresh, the course goes letter by letter until you're reading real sentences. Take it explained in English, Hindi or Italian.

  • The alphabet, reading and writing, taught in small daily steps.
  • Vocabulary, grammar and conversation built on what you can already say.
  • Audio lessons, ebook and audiobook so the sounds and the script stay connected.
