Our Teaching method

At Punjabi Palette, our teaching method focuses on consistency, engagement, and confidence. Our goal is to help children learn Punjabi in a way that feels natural, enjoyable, and effective.

Class Options & Our Recommendation

We offer 1, 2, or 3 classes per week, depending on each family’s schedule and learning goals.

That said, we recommend two classes per week for most children.

One class a week often creates too much time between lessons, while two classes provide enough consistency for children to:

  • Retain vocabulary

  • Build speaking confidence faster

  • Stay connected to the language without feeling overwhelmed

Three classes can be a good option for families looking for faster progress or additional practice.

A Speaking Program for Parents

We also offer a Punjabi speaking program for Parents, focused purely on spoken Punjabi. This helps support learning at home and use simple Punjabi phrases with their child outside of class time.

Multilingual Learning Resources

All of our resources are provided in:

  • English

  • Roman Punjabi

  • Punjabi (Gurmukhi)

Our materials include:

  • Fun, age-appropriate worksheets

  • Interactive activities

  • PowerPoint lessons for teachers

  • Clear lesson goals for each class

Interactive, Game-Based Learning

Classes are designed to be fun and engaging. We use activities such as:

  • Colour games (finding objects by colour)

  • Action songs like Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes in Punjabi

  • Movement-based speaking games

These activities help children learn through play and participation.

Class Structure

Classes are one hour long, with break time built in if children need it. This keeps lessons focused while allowing children to reset and stay engaged.

Our Goal

Our focus is on confidence, not perfection. We want children to feel comfortable hearing, speaking, and using Punjabi in everyday situations.
