🔥 Why is Punjabi so hard and are there ways to learn it faster?

Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand most words, have simple conversations, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and enjoyable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Punjabi. After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Punjabi tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced speakers.
🤷 How long does it take to learn Punjabi?
Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Punjabi will demand at least 600 hours of practice. The amount of time can differ quite a bit depending on your already acquired level of Punjabi or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in Punjabi out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Punjabi classes online.
🤳 What are my options when choosing the Punjabi coach?
In colleges and universities, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, of course! The largest selection of approved Punjabi tutors with video profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

Colleges schedule classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can choose your own lesson frequency and time, on weekdays and/or weekends.
