In addition to this content, the user is shown how to use Google Translate to check their pronunciation when they are practicing. Since the Punjabi alphabet is quite different from English, the pronunciations are not natural for native English speakers, so this extra help with producing the correct pronunciation of the words will be very helpful and useful.
This is an introductory course and more courses will be offered later to supplement the content given here.
This course shows the Gurmukhi script with each of the English phrases, along with a transliteration and the phrase is read aloud in Punjabi, but the Gurmukhi script is not taught in this course.
Those with previous experience with Punjabi and with the Gurmukhi script will benefit the most from this course, as they will be able to more easily read and pronounce the phrases being reviewed here, but no previous knowledge/experience is necessary.
