English term or phrase: I speak Punjabi
We have some interpreters coming to our school for a Meet the Teacher night and would like to have some stickers ready for them so that parents can easily identify which interpreters can best help them. This is in Canada and most of the parents will be 1st or 2nd generation immigrants from Punjabi-speaking countries who may have a bit of English already.

i speak punjabi
مجھے پنجابی آتی ہے۔


Explanation:
I think this way of saying it expresses the ability to speak Punjabi, more than the straight, literal میں پنجابی بولتا/ی ہوں .
