What is this?

Sikho Punjabi is an app for diaspora and heritage speakers to learn conversational Punjabi — the way it's actually spoken, not textbook Punjabi. We've collected over 1,500 pieces of content: vocabulary, proverbs, and cultural texts like Gurbani, Sufi poetry, and folk songs.

Before any of this goes into the app, we need real people to tell us what resonates.

Purpose of this review

Most of the content has been generated with AI, so there are instances of phrases that are just English or Hindi converted into Punjabi — the kind of thing a native speaker would never actually say. Some poetry and folk song excerpts are incomplete. Some vocabulary is too formal or too obscure to be useful.

We need your subjective judgement. If a phrase doesn't feel right, remove it. If it feels forced or unnatural, remove it. We want the app to have content that a new speaker will genuinely want to hear, learn, or find cultural meaning in — not a list of words that could have come out of Google Translate.

How it works

Cards appear one at a time — a mix of vocabulary, proverbs, and cultural content. For each card, tell us what you think:

A few notes

• Your feedback is saved automatically after every card
• Reviews are blind — you won't see what others said
• You can stop and come back anytime — reviewed cards won't reappear
• No wrong answers. Go with your gut.

What happens next

Once reviews are in, we'll take the refined content and use it to build the actual app — engaging UI/UX, exercises, storylines, dialogues, and more. Your picks become the foundation of what new Punjabi speakers experience on day one.
