Yes I am begging no no I am pleading.  I'm about to give up on this search but I've been looking all over the net and around to find resources to teach myself Pakistani Punjabi since the books that I did have and am only able to find is Indian Punjabi and my husband was like "This book is no good.  Wrong Punjabi!"  

I need to learn how to communicate with my in laws because I would LLLOOOOVVVVEEEE to communicate with my in laws.  If you have any resources...books, CDs, tapes, softwares please let me know as soon as possible.  I would like to know this language (fluently) by 2006 and surprise them.

See I can be romantic at times......heh heh heh....speaking of...I need lessons on that too as well.

Love you guys....

Allah (SWT) bless....

Ma-assalaamah.......

Honestly, here's what I suggest:

Buy yourself some Jackie Chan DVDs dubbed in Punjabi...there's a whole market for these originating in Faisalabad (each DVD costs about Rs. 80/- which is the equivalent of approximately US $1.33)..

Jackie Chan is great coz:
1) He's funny (imagine it in Punjabi, it's funnier)
2) He's not dirty
3) His English sucks, so when they dub it in Punjabi, they use easy Punjabi.

I'm not Punjabi...but living in Islamabad I've been picking up some serious Punjabi...I must admit, it's a very FUN language.

Good luck, inshaAllah :)

Wasalaam.

Well I have heard of those funny punjabi dubbed movies too but haven't tried so far. I think the best way to learn any language is to practice it with native speakers. So if sister Trustworthy can find any punjabi friend that would be the best.

Sister Nisa it was nice to know you can speak punjabi just wondering how many punjabis we have on the board? (Just wondering either Madina constitution allows such type of queries?) ............:)
I would be so greatful.

Jazakh...for your response and I will definately look into those sites.  I tried one site before (don't remember) and it had the annunciation as well.  I tried following and then repeating it to my husband who had no clue what I was saying until I explained it to him in English what I was trying to do and he just started laughing becuase it was still the wrong Punjabi.

I was trying to say Ghun-th which means bird....or was that camel?

So yes...if anyone here is fluent in Pakistani Punjabi and would like a live chat with me...please let me know.  You can become my great teacher and I will be your loyal student.  Seriously.

I'll by your books and whatever else you have that would be helpful.

Allah (SWT) bless....

Ma-assalaamah.....
