How do you learn Punjabi?

I’m fluent in Urdu, but how do I go about learning Punjabi? Is it easy to learn?

Re: How do you learn Punjabi?

As with any language, the more you use it the more you retain it. I would suggest listening to Punjabi music and going through the lyrics. I know a lot of people who got a fair grasp of Punjabi using this method. Also, make friends who speak Punjabi and talk to them.

Punjabi isn't wildly different from Urdu - The basic and more simpler words and sentences.

I speak fluent Punjabi and I learnt it simply by listening to my parents talk to each other in Punjabi.

You can learn Punjabistani swear words and their meanings by watching 'Bandit Queen' Not a typical bollywood movie, but it's how I learnt all those words I heard in my childhood.

Ravi you Urdustani! Did you just google that?!
