I took remote Hindi classes for a year with Zabaan, and found the experience immensely rewarding and enjoyable. For most of the time, I was taking classes with Vartika, who is an excellent and engaging instructor. The classes prepared me for a research trip to Delhi, and helped give me a strong grounding in the language. I highly recommend Zabaan School for anyone who is interested in studying Hindi.

I began learning Urdu four years ago with Zabaan but discontinued it for three years. I restarted with Ali about five months ago, with a speed of one page/ hour. I read my first novel slowly at this speed but within four months of weekly lessons, I completed this fantastic book in record time. I even stopped looking at my screen at night and took the novel to my bed! Rediscovered the excitement of reading after a long time , all thanks to Ali. He teaches with scientific and historical perspective, why a certain alphabet is used and why not another. This adds a special dimension to Urdu. I look forward to enriching my vocabulary with his guidance. He lends me big fat books to encourage me to read more. I simply love learning Urdu at zabaan/ Ali thank you .

Mohammed
Hi! I’m Dr Mohammed Dawood a PhD in Persian from Jawaharlal Nehru University, where I developed a strong foundation in Indo-Persian languages and literature. My academic journey includes a B.A., M.A., M.Phil, and PhD, all from Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, where I honed my expertise in Persian language and literature. Over the years, I have cultivated a robust skill set for studying classical texts and have become proficient in reading Nas’ta’liq and various Persian manuscripts.
My teaching approach is clear and effective. I begin by understanding my students’ goals and the time they can commit to learning Persian. This allows me to tailor courses specifically to their needs. Once students grasp the basics and recognize letters, I assess their reading and writing skills while diligently addressing any errors from day one.
With experience as a teacher at Mumbai University in the Persian Department and at the American Institute for Indian Studies (AIIS) in Lucknow, I am well-equipped to guide students on their journey to mastering the Persian language.
