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 have lived in India for 10 years of my life and struggled to learn Hindi that entire time. Thanks to Zabaan's online classes, I finally have an opportunity to learn Hindi properly. I have tried every other method: Teach Yourself Hindi, a personal tutor, learning from friends, Duolingo, Drops, and Rosetta Stone. None of these has even come close to my experience with Zabaan. The Zabaan teachers really know what they are doing. Hindi instruction for foreign language speakers is difficult. It requires teaching (and reteaching) the Devanagari alphabet, pronunciation, minimal pairs, and other basics that my past teachers considered too boring to engage with. It requires an incredible amount of patience, as foreign language students like myself will struggle with pronunciation, listening, and even basic grammar comprehension for many months. It also requires that the teacher is both (a) able to use multiple teaching methods attuned to the different learning styles of multiple students and (b) reach into a deep knowledge of Hindi, Urdu, and Sanskrit to answer peculiar questions about the language that other Indic-language speakers are unlikely to ask. Teachers at Zabaan have proven capable in all these skills. They make their classes interesting and engaging. The online classes mean I can continue my Hindi education with them regardless of which city or country I am currently in. This is the system of Hindi instruction I have been in search of for over a decade and I will happily recommend Zabaan to anyone I meet who wants to learn Hindi.

With over 10 years of teaching experience, I am a dedicated language tutor specializing in Pashto, Dari (Farsi), and English. My passion for languages drives me to create engaging and effective lessons tailored to the unique needs of each student. I believe that language learning is not just about vocabulary and grammar, but also about understanding culture and context, which I incorporate into my teaching approach.
As a language learner myself, currently studying Arabic and Urdu, I understand the challenges and joys that come with acquiring a new language. This perspective allows me to empathize with my students and adapt my methods to enhance their learning experience. I utilize a variety of resources, including interactive activities, multimedia materials, and real-life conversation practice, to make each lesson dynamic and enjoyable.
My goal is to foster a supportive learning environment where students feel confident and motivated to reach their language goals, whether for personal growth, travel, or professional advancement. I am committed to helping my students not only learn a language but also embrace the culture and nuances that come with it.
Let’s embark on this language journey together!
