Zabaan is a brilliant institution for learning new languages, Riya Tyagi was my mentor for urdu and she made the job so easy and fun loving for me, she teaches in such a familiar way that not i just learnt the language but also developed love for the language. Thankyou so much Riya tyagi ji & zabaan for this experience.

I joined Zabaan for the Urdu script course to learn how to read and write Urdu. My experience here has been absolutely wonderful and I'm glad I chose to go here. The pace and the structure of the course is very well-planned and I was delighted to find that I had begun reading Urdu after only three classes. The staff at Zabaan is extremely helpful and accommodating. I exchanged many emails with them before joining and they promptly responded to each of my queries. Ali is an amazing teacher to learn from. He's very patient and encouraging, and his passion for the language is easily reflected in his knowledge and teaching. I've immensely enjoyed each of his classes and would recommend anyone considering learning Urdu to join Zabaan without a second thought.

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.

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.

A passionate language enthusiast from New Delhi, India, I hold a master’s degree in English literature and am proficient in Spanish at a C1 level. With a deep love for learning and teaching languages, I impart knowledge of Hindi, English, and Spanish to my students. A passionate bibliophile and voracious reader, I also have a keen interest in cinema and sports. When not immersed in books or languages, you can find me enjoying a good game or spending time with dogs.
