I absolutely love learning Hindi with Zabaan and my fabulous tutor, Riya. I have spent an hour online with her each week for over a year now and in this time I have learned the Devanagari script, I am able to read quite well, I have moved through the grammar and vocab of the text books and we are now having little conversations each week. I love the one on one lessons as I get to ask heaps of questions and we move at a pace personalised to my progress. I highly recommend learning a language with Zabaan. I look forward to class every week!

I have been studying Urdu with Raza since five years now. Initially I joined Ali´s group course for the Urdu script and then quickly some students were shifted to Raza to learn more Urdu. The classes in the institute with Chai and vivid discussions in our group were legendary and friendship building. Since I am back in Germany I take weekly online class with Raza. It is a wonderful learning experience and I am so thankful for the wonderful material that Raza prepares. Be it day to day spoken Urdu or Urdu prose or poetry, we cover a vast range of topics. At the moment we are going through a poetry course Raza has assembled for beginners and his vocabulary lists are amazingly well prepared in Devnageri English and Urdu. Who ever is interested in Urdu literature, be it prose or poetry - Raza is so patient, kind and knowledgeable. Thank you so much!

Mohammed
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.
