Overall, I would recommend this course to another student especially if they grew up in a Punjabi household or Punjabi-speaking household. Most of the content is geared towards heritage speakers, so while I would still recommend the course for non-heritage speakers, I would let them know that they may need to do some additional work.
I learnt a lot about the Punjabi language. I learnt how to read the Gurmukhi script and how to speak in Punjabi.
The Professor is very good at teaching Punjabi and making it fun and interesting
