Great method for learning a language
Great method for learning a language. It was good that they taught you to greet both Sikh and Muslim Punjabi speakers as well as indicating which words have tones. Areas of improvement for the learner would be doing some comparison with tones so the learner can come more accustomed to tones.

Incredibly clear and helpful!
Loved this way of learning a language. Really easy to remember and understand. Found I can vary and construct my own sentences.

I've more than half way through the Punjabi and Hindi versions. These are my first foray into Indian languages and I'm very impressed with the series.
The Pimsleur course takes a slightly different approach to language learning. The rate of progress with these lessons is slow compared to the typical approach of grammar + vocabulary. But it excels tremendously at developing your inner ear to hear the language and at making conversation second nature rather than a purely mechanical affair. If you don't understand what I mean by this let me give an example: I studied Spanish in school for 6 years, had a huge vocabulary but couldn't understand a word from a native speaker and most definitely couldn't converse. When I went to India recently, having done maybe 1/3 of the Punjabi series, I couldn't exactly have a deep conversation as my vocab was extremely limited BUT whenever I heard someone speaking with the tools I'd learned, my ear immediately picked it up. Also I could distinguish individual words even though I didn't know them. It was exciting given how little I knew!
The content is great - it makes you think on your toes and it's not condescending or overly simplistic or anything like that. The technical production is top notch with different native speakers for male/female. The narrator is American English - all very clear and intelligible.

good but not perfect
is this good for learning? yes however the audiobook assumes no gender and thus swaps in and out of teaching you different gendered ways of saying the same thing. for a beginner this is very confusing and ultimately impractical. granted i understand it would be difficult to release two books for each gender but this is what frustrated me the most. other than that though this is a decent learning resource for learning the language with no prior knowledge.
