I like this method of listening and repeating. What they say about language being primarily speech is so true. There is only so much you can convey through written text considering that Punjabi is a tonal language.

If the voice presenters were too fast to reply to then you can simply drop the speed down to 0.75x, so the pacing wasn't that much of an issue.

Only problem I have with these introductory units is that they spent way too much time going over the greetings in comparison to more complex phrases. I don't know how many times I repeated "sata srī akāla" but it wasn't necessary. I get it. Saying hello is one of the easiest things you can remember. It's just one word. They should have spent more time teaching the phrases and how different grammatical constructs affect words like "ā'undī" and "bōlō". Or they could have introduced a couple different ways to say hello, like they did with the Muslim greeting.

The words themselves aren't hard to remember, it's the context that they apply to and the word order you have to follow to be comprehensible. Like I still don't know the difference between "mainū" and "maim" or the difference between "hai", "hā", "hō", "hām", "hīm", etc. Maybe they will explain these things in later units. But for now I am still confused.

Good introduction to learning Punjabi
