Had an awesome experience learning gurmukhi script from Anshu ma'am at Zabaan. The beginner course has helped me immensely in reading and writing the script. Thanks a lot Zabaan for making such courses available to anyone interested in learning these North Indian languages. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to learn gurmukhi script.

My Urdu classes at Zabaan school for languages have been very good so far. Riya is an amazing teacher who makes it easy to understand grammar and to focus on all parts of language learning, including speaking and writing. I‘m very happy with my choice.

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.

I took classes at Zabaan for 4 weeks after studying Hindi on my own for ~2 years in the US. The improvement I got in my Hindi skill from Zabaan was HUGE; enough to significantly increase my score in the language test offered by my employer. During the 4 weeks of classes I got to experience nearly every teacher at Zabaan. They are ALL absolutely excellent, though I found Juhi to be my favorite. She is personable, energetic and has experience learning multiple languages herself, which I think helps her better understand the challenges a language student faces. My favorite part about lessons with Juhi was engaging in authentic Hindi conversations about topics we were both interested in. It was great being able to discuss a real topic with her as if we were just chatting, but then she would still interject with grammar tips when I would make an error speaking. This helped me tremendously in learning to express myself naturally and correctly.I will never forget my time at Zabaan and cannot wait to go back!

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.
Rachayta
Rachayta has been teaching Hindi and Braj Bhasha at Zabaan since 2012. She completed her bachelor’s degree in Hindi from Delhi University in 2010 and her master’s degree in Linguistics from Jawaharlal Nehru University two years later. A native Hindi speaker and student of the language, Rachayta is knowledgeable about the language at both a conversational and structural level. Her love of linguistics enables her to deconstruct the language and simplify it for students while her interest in Hindi literature allows her to carefully select the most appropriate reading for her students according to their interests and language learning goals. Her passion for other regional languages led her to learn Braj Bhasha — the 16th century western dialect of Hindi. She also learned Urdu during her time at Zabaan and is now teaching that as well at all levels.
Ahmad
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!
