I've been taking online Hindi classes at Zabaan for nearly two years now. I really enjoy the one-on-one sessions. The teachers are excellent and the teaching methods are fun. Equipped with the necessary course material, it's very easy to learn online with them. I highly recommend their online classes.

I absolutely love learning Hindi with Zabaan and my fabulous tutor, Riya. I have spent an hour online with her each week for over a year now and in this time I have learned the Devanagari script, I am able to read quite well, I have moved through the grammar and vocab of the text books and we are now having little conversations each week. I love the one on one lessons as I get to ask heaps of questions and we move at a pace personalised to my progress. I highly recommend learning a language with Zabaan. I look forward to class every week!

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!

I have been learning Hindi and Urdu from my teacher Mohd Raza Ali. My experience has been amazing! In a short amount of time Raza has taught me how to engage and hold simple conversation. Raza has been very opened to my questions about culture and has taught me key phrases for various interactions. Would recommend.
