Zabaan offers instruction of a quality that is on par-and may be even superior- to that of the best universities in the world. I took private Hindi lessons with Rachyita Gupta as my lead instructor and greatly appreciated her mastery of the language. The deep knowledge of linguistics she acquired through completion of a master’s degree and sheer passion clearly showed. It allowed her to explain concepts and how Hindi works in a way that is easy to understand for a non-native speaker. She took the time to develop an individualized learning plan for me, sparing me the drudgery of cookie-cutter curricula. She also focused on giving me tips for self-study so I can continue to learn autonomously when away from Delhi. Beyond language instructions, she proved willing to help me understand India better, including facets of its many cultures, how it is changing and the challenges it faces today. I found all of my instructors to be on time, well-prepared for lessons and highly responsive to my interests. In my opinion, the premium costs of the private lessons at Zabaan is well reflected in the quality of their teaching.

The best school in the world for learning Hindi, without a doubt. I have been learning over the past 1.5 months and can say that my progression has been exponential thanks to the amazing teachers at this school, who are highly professional and make the learning experience seamless. From knowing almost no Hindi at the start 1.5 months ago, I can confidently hold conversation, read news articles, and write Devanagari. Special shoutouts to Tamánna, Jeevika, Anita, Riya, Rachayta and Ali who have all made my experience so special and enriching, I am super grateful to them. Keziah is also great at coordinating everything behind the scenes and changing lessons when needed. Cannot recommend this place enough.

I have been working on my written business English with Zabaan for more than a year now and believe that I have improved my skills a lot. The credit goes to Zabaan and the tailor made classes of my teacher Mr. Saraf. Thanks a lot!

I have been teaching Arabic for the past seven years, helping students from different backgrounds to learn and enjoy the beauty of the Arabic language. My passion is to make Arabic accessible and engaging for everyone, no matter their level or experience.
Throughout my career, I have focused on creating a supportive and motivating learning environment. I am excited to share my knowledge in the Free Arabic Script Course starting on May 1st, and I look forward to helping more students begin their journey with Arabic.
Bahati
I am a native Swahili speaker from East Africa, the birthplace of the Swahili language, with a deep understanding of its linguistic and cultural heritage. I have extensive experience teaching students from diverse backgrounds, helping them develop confidence in speaking, reading, writing, and understanding Swahili.
My teaching approach emphasizes practical communication, cultural immersion, and a supportive learning environment tailored to learners of all levels. I am passionate about sharing the richness of East African culture while helping students achieve their personal, academic, and professional language goals.
Harsimran
Harsimran is a native Punjabi speaker whose relationship with the language became intentional later in life. After growing up largely in Hindi and English, she taught herself Gurmukhi in Class 12 and began engaging deeply with Punjabi as a language of thought, expression, and culture.
At Zabaan, she teaches Punjabi at the C2 / Advanced level, working with students on reading, listening, idioms, proverbs, and stylistic nuances. Her teaching is grounded in Punjabi literature, poetry, and oral traditions, and places strong emphasis on confident, natural use of the language. She also teaches Urdu’s script Nastaliq, and French to school students up to Grade 12 as well as to adult learners at the B1 level.
