I keep this hanging on my fridge. A friendly reminder to myself to be in the habit of mixing in Punjabi throughout the day. A friendly reminder to myself that it doesn’t have to be perfect, and for Harneet to know that as well. Our goal is just to have it be natural flow in and out between English and Punjabi.
My top tip is using Punjabi sentence structure but use the English word if we don’t know the Punjabi one. For instance “kardo” to mean “do it”. If I want to tell Harneet to turn on the light I might say “Buht-ti ON kardo”, or “light on kardi.”
