Basic Western Punjabi: Language Instruction for Complete Beginners

Summary

Basic Western Punjabi is a language course designed to usher complete beginners into the world of Punjabi (Western Punjabi dialect), one of the world's most spoken languages, with a rich cultural and historical backdrop. The Western Punjabi dialect, also known as Punjabi or Lahnda, is predominantly spoken in the Punjab province of Pakistan. This region encompasses major cities such as Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, and Multan, among others. It's important to differentiate this dialect from Eastern Punjabi, which is spoken across the border in the Indian state of Punjab. The Punjab language, predominant in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan, has a storied history, tracing back centuries and playing a pivotal role in the cultural and religious life of its people.

Structured over eight sessions, Basic Western Punjabi aims to equip learners with foundational skills in Punjabi, covering CEFR A1 to A2 levels and working towards B1 by the completion of the course (intermediate level). The course begins with essential phrases and expressions, immediately applicable in daily situations. This practical approach ensures that listeners can quickly put what they learn to use.

Basic Punjabi is tailored for individuals with no prior experience with the language. Later sessions in the course then teach sentence structures of increasing sophistication enabling you to communicate across a variety of contexts. The course focuses on real-life application, making the learning journey practical and rewarding.

For those looking to dive into a new language, enhance their travel experiences, or connect with their Punjabi heritage, Basic Punjabi presents an ideal starting point. Join us to embark on a journey through the beauty of Punjabi, a language rich in history, culture, and significance on the global stage.
