Andrew Battiato — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 12:44:36 +0000

At our Karachi branch, we recently celebrated the major milestone of Zubaan’s 7th birthday! Along with this celebration, we had a formal handover of leadership from Michaela Bekaan to Andrew Battiato. Michaela faithfully founded and led Zubaan since 2017 to make it a premiere Urdu-learning institute and publisher of high-quality Urdu resources.

In light of a our commitment to exploring new cultures and promoting language learning, we enjoyed a special intercultural activity, fun games related to languages, awards, and prizes for attendees! Try out one of the games we used: this one involves identifying a language based on a short audio: www.languagesquad.com.

Zubaan even got its own special birthday cake! As part of the Zubaan celebration, we took special time to give thanks to Michaela for all her hard work and dedication in promoting Urdu and growing Zubaan to be the go-to place for Urdu learning.

Besides the leadership, our teachers and admin staff are absolutely crucial to the success of Zubaan and ensuring the satisfaction of our hundreds of customers over the years. We give thanks especially to the amazing Urdu teachers who – through testing the material in the classroom and giving valuable feedback – helped in the development of our Qadam Beginner Urdu series.

We even had a passing of the baton! Andrew is excited for this new chapter and to carry on the torch, ensuring that Zubaan continues to serve its staff and customers with excellence. Check out the Instagram reel to see what it was like to be at the celebration.

Teaching Urdu at an Academy (2023)

Andrew Battiato — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 07:31:19 +0000

Our teachers recently enjoyed a unique opportunity to teach about 60 teenagers at an academy in Karachi. Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah, the educational institute of the Dawoodi Bohra community, welcomed 4 of our teachers to develop the Urdu skills of their bright students from Pakistan, Yemen, and other countries. Two classes for the foreign students focused on beginner Urdu, while the other 2 classes for the Pakistani nationals covered Urdu public speaking.

Our teachers travelled to the beautiful Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah campus three days a week to conduct their classes. The campus provided state-of-the-art rooms, fully equipped with proper audio/video technology, spacious whiteboards, and a clean environment.

For the beginner classes, our professional teachers taught a 40-hour course using our own course and workbook curriculum: Qadam A1.1, Qadam A1.2, and Qadam A2.1. The students showed remarkable progress by the time of our assessments, some going from knowing a few disjointed Urdu words to communicating in full sentences on varied topics.

The public speaking course was a customized class to prepare the students to formally speak in front of special visitors to their campus. With training in various teaching methods and settings, our teachers adapted well to the needs of these students. They came away with newfound confidence and skills in Urdu public speaking, and the staff greatly appreciated the structure that we provided to meet their specialized course goals.

To show their gratitude, one of the classes out of their own initiative read out notes of appreciation and gifted a “Certificate of Appreciation” to their teacher, Mrs. Zainab. It was a particularly touching moment.
