You put the question on here, instead of using Google or any other search engine, and then complain about responses that don't match what a quick search would have provided!

Why those two languages? They arn’t exactly similair or share same speaking cultures.

Sikh gurdwaras (open to all) have punjabi classes if you wanted to learn properly. I can speak (not read or write) punjabi which I picked up as a kid from dad and gran.

Edit - google translate is quite accurate, so probably that.

Urdu and Punjabi are not similar? I speak both fluently and would say they do share quite some similarities in spoken form and also with Hindi. Also with my origin coming from an area which speaks both languages I would also say they do share cultures massively. If your talking about religion that has nothing to do with the languages?

Have you tried Rosetta Stone OP? If its just speaking level you would like to get to then I just suggest surrounding yourself in conversation as much as possible. But written/reading level is a very different in both languages and you will find it difficult to pick up two whole new alphabet sets.

Never realised people spoke both. I’ve only come across people that speak Punjabi and hindi in India (punjab). I know punjabi is spoken in parts of Pakistan.

Nothing to do with race, any person of any race could speak these languages.There maybe lots of good places in Bradford that teach this but your mind jumped elsewhere first and shouted RACIST!!!!!!!!!!

My understanding is that Urdu is a common tongue, a language that, for example, Indians and Pakistanis can use to communicate with each other as it's similar to both Punjabi and Hindi.

Asian - just because they speak a certain language does not auto make them a certain race.

Having worked with Indians who work together but come from different regions with different languages, the 'common tongue' they use is in fact English...

My girls are using an app on the iPhone to learn Norwegian and I've just seen on the update information that they've added Hindi. The app is called DuoLingo and it looks pretty good. They certainly seem to be learning from it.
