The Advanced Centre for Technical Development of Punjabi Language, Literature & Culture (Punjabi University, Patiala, Punjab) offers a very helpful online Punjabi language learning site. My friend Scott tells me that it's the best online resource he has found for learning the language. (Thanks, Scott, for directing me to this resource.)
Beginning with the alphabet (you click on the alphabet to hear how a native speaker would pronounce it), you can progress through learning numbers, build up a vocabulary of common action words (the illustrations help but can sometimes leave you wondering...), learn to construct simple sentences - all supported with animated Gurumukhi script (so you can learn how to write it), sound, English meaning & transliteration and supporting pictures.
An excellent resource - do try it out if you are learning to speak, read or write Punjabi in the Gurumukhi script. Do remember though that this site is a work in progress - some parts of the site don't always work as expected, and more resources are being added as they are developed.

Happy Punjabi learning!
