FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Punjabi

The spoken language is nearly identical and mutually intelligible. The major difference is the writing: in India, Punjabi is written in Gurmukhi (the Sikh script); in Pakistan, in Shahmukhi (Perso-Arabic script). Formal vocabulary also differs, Indian Punjabi borrows from Sanskrit and Hindi, Pakistani Punjabi from Urdu and Arabic. In everyday speech, speakers from both countries understand each other without problems.
The Punjabi diaspora is one of the most economically powerful in the world. In the UK, Punjabis (Indian and Pakistani) number more than 2 million people across business, healthcare and politics. In Canada, the Sikh community is highly influential, Punjabi is the 3rd-most spoken language in Canada after English and French. Speaking Punjabi opens up vast commercial and human networks.
Absolutely. Bhangra and modern Punjabi pop (Diljit Dosanjh, AP Dhillon, Panjabi MC) have become global phenomena. The lyrics use expressive, repetitive everyday vocabulary, perfect for immersive learning. Our teachers can build lessons around your favorite artists: lyric breakdowns, pronunciation work, cultural expressions.
Gurmukhi has 35 consonantal letters and 10 vowels. It is a phonetic and regular alphabet, each letter corresponds to a fixed sound, with no exceptions. Most learners can read fluently within 4 to 6 weeks. The script is highly legible, with letters that are clearly distinct from one another. It is one of the first satisfactions of learning Punjabi.
For an English speaker, 8 to 10 months with regular lessons to reach B1. Punjabi shares many roots with Hindi and Urdu, if you already have basics in one of those languages, progress will be significantly faster. Punjabi grammar is fairly close to Hindi, and the tonal pronunciation requires specific training but is not a major obstacle.

“Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.”

CamilleVerified purchase
D

“What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.”

DamienVerified purchase
S

“Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.”

SorayaVerified purchase
A

“Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.”

AntoineVerified purchase
E

“The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.”
