I have been taking lessons for some time, during each lesson I feel pushed towards learning more and more. There is a depth of knowledge at this language school and they are experts in their subject matter! Truly respect their expertise and grateful to learn from them.

I really enjoyed the Urdu Script class. I was so surprised that it was free! The material provided really helped and having recordings of each lesson so that I could review it in my own time. Thanks to Riya! 😀

I have been learning English with Zabaan for the past two years. Before delving into my review, I must acknowledge that my relationship with English was far from satisfactory. In the past, I attempted to learn from various sources, including a few other esteemed institutions, but none could effectively address my struggles with the language. When I felt that learning English had become an insurmountable challenge, my friend Malini recommended Zabaan School for Languages. Intrigued by their website, I contacted Zabaan and commenced my English lessons with Ali. Prior to this, I had not watched a single English movie, series, or documentary because I simply could not understand anything they were say. Ali encouraged me to explore suitable English content, and initially he met with my resistance. However, he consistently motivated me, providing compelling reasons to watch various interesting shows. While many people turn to Ali for language learning, my experience with with him also evolved into a personal and spiritual journey. Ali Taqi is a deeply knowledgeable person and I'm sure anyone who has come into contact with him would agree with the same. I will forever cherish this enriching experience. Zabaan was more language school, it was a place of higher learning. Throughout this journey, I discovered aspects about myself and the world that I had never known. Although my formal education with Zabaan may conclude soon, my learning will be perpetual. As an Urdu storyteller, I know the nuances of language, and Ali's exceptional way of explaining things never cease to amaze me. Heartfelt thanks to my ustad Ali, and to Zabaan in general, for this transformative experience. I am officially an English speaker and I can not tell you how happy I am for it. To anyone aspiring to learn a language, Zabaan is the best in world.

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.

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.

Hi! I’m a native Portuguese speaker with a passion for language learning and teaching. I lived in Japan for six years during my childhood, where I developed fluency in Japanese through daily immersion. I now teach Japanese and basic Portuguese, helping others build a strong foundation in both languages. My background gives me a unique perspective on language acquisition, and I enjoy making learning engaging and practical for my students.
