Group Classes

Our group classes offer a fertile learning environment where camaraderie and healthy competition keep the pace moving and allow a group of motivated students to learn from each other and collaborate on reaching their learning goals.  Classes are taught using carefully selected textbooks and custom designed supplemental materials.

Our student to teacher ratio remains intentionally low so classmates can challenge each other without being denied the individual attention each student needs. Group classes are offered at various language levels in two course options — intensive and evening.  To determine your current proficiency level, conduct a self assessment using the proficiency guidelines we employ at Zabaan. Or let Zabaan conduct a free proficiency assessment.

Intensive Courses

If you want to fast track your language learning, our intensive courses cover more ground in less time.  Ideal for students who wish to fully immerse themselves in Hindi, German and French, these courses are offered in two 1.5 hour blocks each weekday for four intense weeks.  After a total of 60 hours of class time, students can expect to boost their language proficiency by 2 levels on our proficiency guidelines.  These courses require enrolment of four or more students.

Evening Courses

Designed specifically for the working professional or full-time student, our 90-minute evening classes are held after working hours twice a week for eleven weeks so you can achieve your language proficiency goals without disrupting your busy schedule.  These courses cover similar learning content as our intensive courses, but at a more relaxed pace.  After a total of 30 hours of class time, students can expect to boost their language proficiency by 1 level on our proficiency guidelines.

“I am very impressed with the Zabaan team, their professionalism, enthusiasm and student-centered approach.”

I was very happy when I found Zabaan a few years ago now. I had wanted to learn Hindi for a long time and had never quite found the right opportunity till then. My instructor inspired confidence from day one – he was clearly very knowledgable and an extremely good teacher. In particular he was excellent at explaining the grammar and patiently took the time to answer my questions in detail. I had definitely come to the right place. The Zabaan approach was exactly what I had been looking for – you’re given a strong foundation in grammar, which is essential if you’re to feel confident when using the language. For a private student, the programme is tailored to suit your interests, and at intermediate and advanced Hindi level, alongside grammar lessons, I was encouraged to do a lot of reading, as well as listening tasks, and in this way you get to extend your vocabulary much further than you would through simply chatting (although you can do this too). I also took the opportunity to learn Urdu alongside Hindi, which enriches your vocabulary further still, and is immensely rewarding. I have waited a few years before posting this review, as I was fortunate enough to be offered a job with Zabaan and I spent three years working there, before moving on to new things. As someone who has both studied and worked with Zabaan, I am very impressed with the Zabaan team, their professionalism, enthusiasm and student-centred approach. I can confidently say you won’t find a better place to learn Hindi in Delhi – my husband (a Hindi speaker) is very happy with the result too!

“I studied Hindi and Urdu at Zabaan for over a year and can’t recommend it enough!”

Read Full Review

I studied Hindi and Urdu at Zabaan for over a year and can’t recommend it enough! At the moment I am pursuing a PhD in Hindi literature and I am still indebted to Ali for creating a clear understanding of the Hindi/Urdu grammar in my head. The professional atmosphere and way the classes are adapted according to different student’s needs creates an opportunity to learn how to speak, read and write which is a real gift. My strongest memory from Zabaan is that way that all the teachers there motivated me to study and advance my skills- not only were they able to explain different subjects in clear language-they also pushed me forward making me work harder and harder and reap the fruit of studying. If this sounds too enthusiastic just go give it a try and see for yourself!

“I really look forward to my classes: they are stimulating, challenging, enjoyable – and they work!”

I remember Zabaan when it was two people with a good idea handing out flyers in Khan Market. Since those days (actually not so long ago) it has grown into a first rate language institute offering courses in 9 modern and 4 classical languages (and counting). I haven’t taken Old Norse but I can definitely say there is no better place in Delhi to study Hindi. The quality of the teaching is superb, well-structured but also tailored to individual needs and learning styles. The teachers are fascinated by language and how we learn. They have a deep knowledge of their subjects and an ability to explain any detail or nuance in a clear effective way, consulting books and dictionaries if necessary. I really look forward to my classes: they are stimulating, challenging, enjoyable – and they work! Plus the chai is delicious. In fact Zabaan is a deeply civilised place. I recommend it highly. I first studied Hindi at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. The teaching at Zabaan is at least as good as it was there, if not better.
