よくある間違い
English 'T' falls in the middle. Punjabi requires you to choose: either curl the tongue back for 'ਟ' or touch the teeth for 'ਤ'.
Learners often forget to engage their vocal cords for the third letter in each row.
Look closely at the top bar. 'ਅ' has an open top, while 'ਘ' is closed. This small detail changes the whole word!
