I've just wrapped up one of the most enriching weeks in a long time. Lucky, I enrolled myself with Zabaan's Boli Wapas course - an enjoyable immersion into Punjabi poetry, literature and vocabulary. Harsimran, our course instructor put together five fascinating sessions - a deep-dive into a poet, deconstructing one or two of their poetries in detail, along with some profound gems in the form of stories, videos, interviews, and scholars' discussions. These were interspersed with vocab lessons and household proverbs ... all done and put together with wit and amazing storytelling - often leaving the class in splits. Overall, the course is a fantastic nudge to get back to the language, reigniting the interest and the confidence to learn, practice and use it more, besides giving a sense of a community to engage with all things Punjabi.

Overall, I’m very satisfied with the academy. The classes are well organized, and Anita who is my teacher is friendly and supportive, which makes it easy to study in a comfortable atmosphere. Whenever I have questions, they explain things clearly and patiently. I’ve been enjoying the classes and feel that I’m making steady progress.

We greatly enjoyed the 5 day course called Boli Vaapas on the Punjabi language through poetry. Harsimran was a great advocate for reviving Punjabi. It was a well designed and researched course. For each poet she generously shared a list of resources so we can delve deeper into the subject. We also did fun proverbs and words that are fast disappearing. We look forward to Boli Vaapas part 2 in July.
