Know Your Level. Start in the Right Place.
A free 15-minute online assessment helps us understand what you already know, what you want to achieve, and which lesson format or course is likely to suit you best.
No preparation is required. It is a short conversation and level check—not an exam you need to study for.

The assessment is designed to give you a useful starting point quickly. We focus on the information that actually affects your course recommendation.

2. Understand Your Goals.
Tell us whether you are learning for conversation, work, research, travel, heritage, exams, or another purpose.
3. Recommend a Path.
We can suggest an appropriate level, lesson format, and next step based on your needs and availability.

I took basic Urdu lessons at Zabaan under Ali Taqi, and got completely hooked. For anyone who is enthusiastic about a language, this is the place to go to. In a detailed yet humorous manner, Ali manages to get one to understand the basics of Urdu in just three classes (if you do the homework). I highly recommend learning Urdu at Zabaan, I had a great experience going for the group classes.

I have been taking lessons for some time, during each lesson I feel pushed towards learning more and more. There is a depth of knowledge at this language school and they are experts in their subject matter! Truly respect their expertise and grateful to learn from them.

Ms. Anita Goswami is punctual, consistent, hardworking, very knowlegable and dedicated to my childs unique need and growth curve in learning Hindi language. With her in the lead I can see my childs language confidence and understanding improve. My only recommendation for maximising productivity, childs engagement and knowlege retention is by use of altenative tools to keep kids engaged and curious during their class time as learners learn in diff ways visual, written, audio. Thanks Ms. Goswami for a great year of learning Hindi and more to come!

I took remote Hindi classes for a year with Zabaan, and found the experience immensely rewarding and enjoyable. For most of the time, I was taking classes with Vartika, who is an excellent and engaging instructor. The classes prepared me for a research trip to Delhi, and helped give me a strong grounding in the language. I highly recommend Zabaan School for anyone who is interested in studying Hindi.
