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!

I started taking classes at Zabaan in 2015 with the month-long basic intensive Hindi course. This was a great small group class that helped introduce me to the language and learn a great depth of knowledge about Hindi. I knew from that first experience with Zabaan that I would get high quality instruction tailored to my needs as a student. I’ve taken private one on one classes with Zabaan while in Delhi, as well as online classes when I’m back in the United States. The instructors tailor our lessons to my needs and interests, making each lessons enjoyable and educational. For example, I needed to improve on my listening ability, so Ali and I worked for 6-plus weeks on improving my listening. I noticed real improvement in my ability to understand everyday Hindi conversations in Delhi. Neha and Dhriti helped me learn vocabulary for my research and the proper grammatical structures needed in order to use such concepts. Raza was always patient and encouraging in our conversation classes. I truly feel that they care about me as a student and are dedicated to helping me improve towards my goal of fluency in Hindi. The environment at Zabaan is one of an enthusiastic community of language learners from all over the world. Additionally, the online courses are a great way for me to continue practicing speaking and listening while I am not in India. I like that I can schedule the online courses as they fit with my schedule and availability. I’ve taken Hindi classes elsewhere in both India and the U.S., and Zabaan continues to be the best language instruction I’ve encountered!

Zabaan always encourages and inspires me as I learn Hindi. If you are a Hindi lesson hopper, Zabaan will be the final destination. Highly recomended to learners of any level. As a gratitude to Zabaan teachers, I dedicate this poem, written great assistance with ChatGPT 🙂इल्म का गुलज़ार है, ये प्यारी सी ज़बान, हर लफ़्ज़ में खिलती है, उजाली सी ज़बान।हिन्दी बांसुरी की, कन्हैया की तान, उर्दू की नरमी है, हसीना की ज़बान।जो पूछे इल्म का, है क्या सरचश्मा, मुस्कान से कहें हम, ये प्यारी सी ज़बान।दिल्ली के शोर में, इक ख़ामोश दीया, रातों को चमके ये, उजली सी ज़बान।रुख़्सत के लम्हों में, बाँधी थी इक गाँठ, वतन में खोलेंगे, यादों की अपनी ज़बान।तोशिको का सलाम, उन उस्तादों के नाम, जिनसे महकती है, ये दिलकश सी ज़बान।
