Sat Sri Akal!
How many flashcard sets have you been gifted for your child’s learning? How many of them that you received were in Punjabi (or whatever your target language might be)? Zero? Same.
Simplest fix? Take my existing flashcards and grab my permanent marker.
Is it as aesthetically pleasing as I would like. Certainly not. Is my Punjabi grammar perfect? Also certainly not; so if you’re a native Punjabi speaking please feel free to offer me corrections!
I really prefer focusing on phrases as opposed to just vocabulary so that we can better master sentence structure. Having hundreds of individual nouns stored in my head is great. However, I want to encourage myself and Harneet to be able to communicate complete thoughts in Punjabi, so adding in sentence structure wherever I can is the goal.
Harneet was gifted a Lovevery subscription for a couple of years so I’ve adapted a few items. These ones are all about daily activities and chores. So many benefits to using these:
- They encourage independence for completing daily life skills.
- Writing them myself helps the vocabulary stick in my brain so I can model language.
- Our English-speaking family living near us can also practice with Harneet.
- Flashcards can easily be turned into games to make learning more fun.
- Since I’m not spending time and money making flashcards from scratch or searching for them online, it is budget-friendly.
- Minimalist, as opposed to having multiple flashcards sets to keep track of.
- Normalizes Punjabi along with English, as opposed to it always being compartmentalized.
