The required duration of time can differ significantly depending on your already acquired level of Punjabi or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, write 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.
