Frequently asked questions
- What are bilingual Punjabi + English stories?
- Each story is written in Punjabi (Gurmukhi script) with the English translation shown alongside, paragraph by paragraph. You can read both together, or hide the English and read in Gurmukhi only.
- Are these stories free?
- Yes — every story is free to read online, with no sign-up. They are public-domain world folktales (Aesop, Panchatantra, fairy tales, Arabian Nights) retold and translated into Punjabi for diaspora families.
- How do these help my child learn Punjabi?
- Reading familiar stories in Gurmukhi builds reading confidence fast, because children already know how the story goes. Start with English on, then switch to “Gurmukhi only” as a reading-practice step.
- What ages are these stories for?
- Most stories suit ages 4–8 read aloud, and independent readers aged 7+. Shorter fables are great first read-alouds; the longer fairy tales suit confident readers.
