1.0 out of 5 stars There is better, August 1, 2003

The text and the tapes do not go well together. Worse, there is no progression in the teaching of the language. It is all disconnected chunks and there may be some mistakes. It is not good for communication either; too unpractical in approach. I felt I wasted my money and have bought another one since. I would recommend Punjabi Made Easy by Nagra instead.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good cartoons, monolithic text, March 19, 2003

This review is from: Panjabi with Book (Teach Yourself (McGraw-Hill)) (Paperback)

This course looks pleasant, with nice pictures, but is not nice to use at all. I could point out several faults, but the worst is that dialogues and language information are disjointed. You go through a dialogue, then you read the grammar trying to learn how the language works, but you get little or nothing. The language information comes in rigid blocks that have little or nothing to do with the more practical sections of the book. A logical link is missing between the two. It is very difficult to learn the language with this course.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rather frustrating, August 23, 2003

Basically I find this course very difficult to follow. You don't get the assistance you need. Some things do not match, I don't know whether they are right or wrong. Some sections look like they may have been written by someone who is still trying to learn the language.
