Choose what you want to focus on
Not every adult has the same goal.
You might want to speak Punjabi with your parents or grandparents.
You might want to understand and join in with conversations at family gatherings.
You might want to learn how to read and write Punjabi for the first time.
That is why our adult beginners can follow one of three learning pathways:
Speaking & Listening
For adults who want to understand Punjabi and speak with more confidence.
Build your vocabulary, learn how to form sentences and practise having real conversations.
Lessons include role plays, conversation practice, listening activities, games, quizzes and personalised vocabulary.
Reading & Writing
For adults who want to learn how to recognise, read and write Gurmukhi.
Start with the letters and sounds, then gradually build towards reading and writing Punjabi words and sentences.
No previous knowledge of Gurmukhi is needed.
All four skills
For adults who want a complete Punjabi education.
Develop your speaking, listening, reading and writing together through one personalised learning plan.
Not sure which pathway is right for you? That is completely fine.
We can help you choose.
You have wanted to learn Punjabi for years. Life just kept getting in the way.
Perhaps Punjabi was spoken around you growing up, but you were never taught how to speak it.
You might understand a few words or sentences, but struggle to join in properly.
You might sit with family while everyone speaks Punjabi and feel like you are missing part of the conversation.
And as your parents and grandparents get older, being able to speak with them can begin to feel even more important.
You want to ask them questions.
You want to understand their stories.
You want to speak to them in the language that feels most natural to them.
You have not missed your chance.
We will never judge you for what you do or do not already know. We will start at your level and help you build your confidence one step at a time.
Understands but won't speak?
We'll build confidence answering in Punjabi and gradually develop longer conversations.
Already speaks Punjabi?
We'll expand their vocabulary, grammar and confidence so they can say more than basic sentences.
Wants to learn Gurmukhi?
We'll develop their reading and writing from their current level.
No two lessons need to look exactly the same. We choose activities based on what they're learning and how they learn best.
What might a Punjabi lesson look like?
We explain why we use certain words so then you can understand not just memorise
Allowing you to say the letter and write it, allows the brain to make connections
Roleplays help reinforce the lesson and allows confidence build
The activities we use depend on your child's chosen learning path and what they're working on that week.
These lessons are for you if...
You are starting Punjabi completely from the beginning
You understand some Punjabi but cannot reply confidently
Punjabi was spoken at home, but you were never properly taught
You feel nervous or embarrassed speaking Punjabi
You want to communicate with parents, grandparents or extended family
You want to reconnect with your Punjabi or Sikh heritage
You want to learn how to read and write Gurmukhi

Come as you are, and we will start from there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need need to know any Punjabi already?
No. We teach you from your starting position. So if you are complete beginners we assume no knowledge. If you have some experience, then we incorpate that into your personalised learning plan.
What if I can't do a full 60 minute lesson?
That's completely fine. We can offer two 30 minute lessons during the week instead.
What resources do we need at home?
Nothing complicated. We'll provide the learning resources and booklets you need. You'll just need access to a printer, plus a few basics like a notepad and pen. If anything different is needed for a lesson, your tutor will let you know beforehand.
Can you teach Punjabi alongside Paath or Sikhi?
Absolutely. If you would like to learn Punjabi alongside Paath, Gurmukhi reading or Sikhi, choose our Bespoke Tuition option. We can create a more personalised learning plan around your goals.
What happens if I'm feeling a little shy or nervous?
That's completely normal. It's one of the reasons we start with a free introduction session. You will get to meet their tutor, say hello, talk about things they like and get comfortable before their lessons begin. We don't pressure you to speak straight away. We build their confidence gradually through role plays, games, stories and activities.
Where do the lessons take place?
All lessons take place online using Google Meet, so your child can learn from home wherever you are in the world. Once you're set up with your tutor, we'll send you everything you need to join your lessons.
What happens if we can't make a lesson?
We understand that plans change. If you can't make a lesson, just let your tutor know as soon as possible. Lessons can be rearranged in line with our cancellation and rescheduling policy.
What happens if I am ill?
If you are unwell, please let your tutor know as soon as you can. Depending on the circumstances and notice given, we'll do our best to rearrange the lesson in line with our cancellation and rescheduling policy.
How does payment work?
Lessons are paid for in advance. Once you've had your free introduction session and decided you'd like to continue, we'll confirm your lesson plan, regular time slot and payment details with you.
Who will teach me?
You will be matched with one of our friendly Punjabi tutors based on their needs and availability. Our tutors are based in the UK or Canada and have been personally trained by Harsimrat Kaur. They adapt lessons around your confidence, interests and learning style.
