I couldn't recommend Zabaan more highly. I have been taking private online lessons with Ali since 2020 (we began with Hindi and added Urdu in 2024). Ali's love and curiosity for the languages he teaches are truly contagious. And his patience and generosity with his students are remarkable. Each session is rewarding and enjoyable. I look forward to studying at Zabaan for many years to come.

I have completed two Hindi intensives at Zabaan and I have to say that this school is amazing. The knowledge of Hindi grammar, sentence structure, script, tenses, etc. from every teacher is impeccable. They are truly grammartarians. The progressive order of learning grammar sets a solid foundation for understanding the language. My reading, writing, spelling, and speaking has vastly improved.It is very apparent that the teachers are well experienced not only in grammar knowledge but being able to effectively teach it. The way that they drill on speaking while teaching the grammar stretches you to learn and solidify the information. They cannot be stumped by a question. They balance answering questions and moving through the content beautifully.The professionalism is top notch, the facilities are some of the best I have seen in Delhi, and the hand cooked lunches and chai/coffee are so good.I highly recommend Zabaan for anyone serious about learning languages.David H.
