Good content but hard work!

The dictionary is good. My problem was that when looking in the english side for a punjabi translation, the translation is actually written in punjabi script with no hints on the english pronounciation. I had to try (slowly) to spell the word out one letter at a time to find the meaning. Alternatively, I would have to look up the punjabi word in the other side of the book (the Punjabi to english bit) in order to find how to pronounce the word! Confused?

Overall this dictionary is still good. It as hard going to begin with but there is no doubt that it helped improve my knowledge of the punjabi alphabet and letter sounds.
A useful purchase.

Necessity for anyone wanting to learn Punjabi.

I am one of a group of about eighty who are learning punjabi - the ones that have ordered this dictionary have seen my copy and were very impressed. So far I have ordered fifteen. The main benefit is that it is both an English-Punjabi and Punjabi-English dictionary. It gives the punjabi word with the phonetic english pronunciation, and when reading other punjabi publications I was soon seeing the punjabi letter and converting to the english letter/s. So if you want to learn punjabi then this is a necessary supplement to the Learn Punjabi publication.
