[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 174621, member: 16886"] There is nothing wrong with reading the english transliterations. This way the whole spoken vocab is punjabi, even though you may be reading it in roman or english language. [B]Akashji, you have no need to worry and you can read your nitnem with the transliterations.[/B] However, I do suggest that to keep your pronounciations correct, that you read along the nitnem whilst listening to it on tape or cd until you get enough practice to be able to read without listening. This way you build up more confidence in your speech and pronouncing of punjabi language. After doing this repeatedly you can then start on your own reading the transliteration in english letters, but your speech shall all be coming across in the correct gurmukhi. Infact, I do this quite often, because my reading of gurmukhi is quite slow. I find that if I'm looking for shabads to do for kirtan, then I scan through various ones in the transliterated versions as I feel more confident and at ease. When one can read and pronounce the gurmukhi to near perfection even whilst reading from transliterated text, then to [I]anyone listening they would never be able to distinguish if you were reading from gurmukhi text or not.[/I] This is providing you train yourself in the method I mentioned. I have used the above method myself, as I only started learning to read gurmukhi after I had mastered the transliterations. I never even saw the punjabi alphabet until I was much older, so you have better chances than most people. I would NOT let your punjabi vocab and reading dictate when you may take amrit. [B]I believe it is perfectly fine to read english text or transliterated versions to do your nitnem.[/B] With time it will come, but don't try and force it on yourself. You can proceed in this manner whilst trying to learn and grasp the gurmukhi word by word. I know, it's not easy by any means even though I have the advantage of being able to speak fluent punjabi. This weekend the 'Chardi Kala' jatha of MiriPiri academy were at the Gurdwara. You may be aware that these are american gora sikhs, and there were also many other gora sikhs present from the States. I came across a few that were amritdhari and they themselves were either learning or had learnt gurmukhi after managing so far on transliterations !! This shows just how much value the text has, providing it is spoken correctly. I wouldn't suggest it as an alternative, but to maximise your correct spoken word by utilising it, is a must for all non-gurmukhi readers. Then you can use it to increase your gurmukhi reading and later come to just using the gurmukhi on it's own. [/QUOTE]
