My hindi lessons with Anita have been fantastic! I could not ask for a better Hindi teacher. Zabaan is an excellent choice for abroad-living Desis looking to learn Hindi.

I highly recommend Zabaan to anyone wishing to learn the local languages. I have been learning Hindi with them for over a year, and now am at a satisfactory intermediate level, not an easy feat! I highly recommend my teacher, Riya Tyagi, for her professionalism (and patience!), which has made the learning experience very enjoyable and productive. I also thank the student coordinator Keziah for her diligence in helping coordinate the classes. Learning languages at Zabaan is a successful investment, you will not be disappointed!

Zabaan offers instruction of a quality that is on par-and may be even superior- to that of the best universities in the world. I took private Hindi lessons with Rachyita Gupta as my lead instructor and greatly appreciated her mastery of the language. The deep knowledge of linguistics she acquired through completion of a master’s degree and sheer passion clearly showed. It allowed her to explain concepts and how Hindi works in a way that is easy to understand for a non-native speaker. She took the time to develop an individualized learning plan for me, sparing me the drudgery of cookie-cutter curricula. She also focused on giving me tips for self-study so I can continue to learn autonomously when away from Delhi. Beyond language instructions, she proved willing to help me understand India better, including facets of its many cultures, how it is changing and the challenges it faces today. I found all of my instructors to be on time, well-prepared for lessons and highly responsive to my interests. In my opinion, the premium costs of the private lessons at Zabaan is well reflected in the quality of their teaching.

I've been taking Hindi classes with Ali for the past couple of years, and it's made such a difference for me. I grew up in Chennai, hearing little to no Hindi around me, and so really felt the need to learn the language when I moved to Mumbai for work. I was insecure in speaking Hindi but after classes with Ali at Zabaan, I've grown in confidence and have reached a stage where I'm able to have conversations, professional and personal, without worrying (like I used to) about how I sound or if I'm making mistakes. There's an ease I feel with the language now that's very freeing. Thanks Ali and Zabaan for teaching Hindi in a way that's accessible, fun and non-judgmental.

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.

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.
