Have Fun with Panjabi Summary

Have Fun with Panjabi: Introducing Mother Tongue to Children: Bk. 1 by Kiran Lyall

Teach your children to speak Panjabi with this easy to follow book. Have Fun with Panjabi is based on a simple 'say what you see' concept. The same sounds that are used in everyday English are used to pronounce the Panjabi words shown in the book. Book one contains chapters on colours, counting, fruit, vegetables, drinks and days of the week. There is also a chapter testing what the child has learnt, enabling them to say short describing sentences. As with any language pronunciation is key, hence the 'Have Fun With - ' series encourages parents to be involved with the child in the learning. Panjabi originates from the north of India, and like every language around the world is spoken with a different accent, depending on locality. For example, Birmingham English accent differs from London English accent, as with Ludhiana Panjabi is different to Jalandhar Panjabi.

Have Fun with Panjabi Reviews

'Fresh material presupposing no knowledge of Panjabi is now needed to educate a new wave of Panjabi children if the language is to survive outside of Panjab; Kiran Lyall's 'Have fun with Panjabi' assists in serving such a purpose'. Rishi Handa Panjabi Examiner at Kings College London & Panjabi Teacher at SOAS. 'This bright and colourful book will be welcome by the many families in the Panjabi community who have not had the opportunity to learn the Gurmukhi script, but are keen to transmit the language to their young children. It will also be helpful in schools to teachers who are introducing children to different languages. I would have loved such a book when I was a teacher myself.' Dr Raymonde Sneddon Research Fellow in Multilingualism, University of East London. 'This is an excellent resource for the school classroom and library. I think children will find it inviting and accessible as an introduction to the Panjabi language. It will be useful for pupils who have some knowledge of the language as well as complete beginners. The phonetic pronunciation also makes it usable for teachers like myself, with no background knowledge of the language. I will certainly be using this book in my classroom and sending it home for pupils to share with their parents.' Catherine Coop Primary School Teacher & Ethnic Minority Achievement Co-ordinator, Christchurch Primary School, Ilford

About Kiran Lyall

Kiran Lyall's passion for the Panjabi language began as a child on her travels to India. In the 1980's and 90's, her annual holidays were spent traveling around the country. Although Kiran learnt Panjabi the traditional way using script, she noticed that there are no books available for English-speaking young children who just want to speak and understand the language. Now a mother herself, Kiran is hoping that the 'Have Fun With - ' series will encourage children to learn their mother tongue.
