| Introduction It
has been a long standing demand of the 5abi.com readers that we should, using the
techniques of information technology and the multi-media capabilities of the Internet,
provide a series of Punjabi learning modules. Although, due to our limited resources, we
have not been able to develop interactive, computer based learning packages, here we
present a series of simple and useful lessons which, we hope, our readers (particularly
the second generation overseas Punjabis) will find them helpful in their quest to learn
the Punjabi language. What is more important, the lessons are devised by someone who for
his years of commitment and dedication has taught himslef the Gurmukhi script and has
agreed to develop these lessons for the 5abi.com readers.

Rupinderpal Singh Dhillon, has lived in the UK most of his
life and has the first hand experience of the difficulties of learning one's mother
language in an alien environment. All over the world, especially in the Western
countries, there are many Punjabi learning schools set up by the respective Governments
and non-Government organisations (mainly Gurudwaras). Sadly, they all lack modern teaching
aids and learning material (books etc.) readily available for all the other modern
languages. This is attributable mainly due to fact that such material is neither developed
nor available in the mother country, i.e. the Punjab. To address this issue the overseas
Punjabi community (especially the Punjabi businesses and entrepreneurs) can do a lot, in
terms of sponsoring such developments. We look forward to their suggestions and views.
