Everything you need to actually learn
No fluff. Just the tools that make Gurmukhi stick.
ਬਿਨਾਂ ਇੰਟਰਨੈੱਟ
Offline-first
Every lesson ships with the app. Learn on a flight, on the train, anywhere. No signal required.
ੳ ਅ ੲ
Gurmukhi keyboard
A built-in, lesson-scoped mini keyboard. Type real Gurmukhi without installing a system keyboard.
ਦੁਹਰਾਓ
Spaced repetition
A smart review engine resurfaces words right before you forget them. Practice never runs out.
ਸੁਣੋ
Native audio
Hear every phrase spoken clearly so you learn to listen and speak, not just read.
A note from the maker
Built by Arsh, a student at Cornell University and a Punjabi learner.
I built Sikhna because I wanted a fun, modern way to reconnect with Punjabi and Gurmukhi. Every lesson is shaped by what actually helped me learn. I hope it helps you too.
