I took basic Urdu lessons at Zabaan under Ali Taqi, and got completely hooked. For anyone who is enthusiastic about a language, this is the place to go to. In a detailed yet humorous manner, Ali manages to get one to understand the basics of Urdu in just three classes (if you do the homework). I highly recommend learning Urdu at Zabaan, I had a great experience going for the group classes.

I came for the 4 week group intensive beginner Hindi course at Zabaan. The best part was the instructors who are well trained and highly knowledgable of the language. The courses are well structured and include a healthy mix of instruction, speaking practice and writing practice. Although only a four week course for beginners, I am leaving able to have a much better knowledge of Hindi when around Hindi speaking friends as well as being able to communicate on basic things myself. Looking forward to continuing with the school in the future and would recommend for those seeking Hindi classes in Delhi.

I started taking classes at Zabaan in 2015 with the month-long basic intensive Hindi course. This was a great small group class that helped introduce me to the language and learn a great depth of knowledge about Hindi. I knew from that first experience with Zabaan that I would get high quality instruction tailored to my needs as a student. I’ve taken private one on one classes with Zabaan while in Delhi, as well as online classes when I’m back in the United States. The instructors tailor our lessons to my needs and interests, making each lessons enjoyable and educational. For example, I needed to improve on my listening ability, so Ali and I worked for 6-plus weeks on improving my listening. I noticed real improvement in my ability to understand everyday Hindi conversations in Delhi. Neha and Dhriti helped me learn vocabulary for my research and the proper grammatical structures needed in order to use such concepts. Raza was always patient and encouraging in our conversation classes. I truly feel that they care about me as a student and are dedicated to helping me improve towards my goal of fluency in Hindi. The environment at Zabaan is one of an enthusiastic community of language learners from all over the world. Additionally, the online courses are a great way for me to continue practicing speaking and listening while I am not in India. I like that I can schedule the online courses as they fit with my schedule and availability. I’ve taken Hindi classes elsewhere in both India and the U.S., and Zabaan continues to be the best language instruction I’ve encountered!

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.
