Testimonials – What our students say

Since 2017 over 450 students from 65 different countries have successfully learned Urdu with us. 

Our students come for many reasons: Some are learning Urdu for professional purposes – to talk with colleagues, clients, suppliers etc. Others want to be able to socialize and interact with Pakistanis, e.g. with neighbors, in-laws, shop keepers. Again others are studying Urdu for academic purposes either as international students at an university in Pakistan or to help with their research and studies at an university abroad. And then there are those who are simply “language geeks” or tourists who love Pakistan and want to be able to interact with locals during their travels. 

In-person, online – or both; short, intensive courses to year-long courses – there are many possibilities at Zubaan.

The course was very enjoyable for me because it met my learning needs and was well-structured.... The materials were high-quality and the teachers were proficient and experienced - they gave me great support and feedback.

 I specified that I wanted to focus on speaking and that's exactly what we did. I particularly liked the used of the online whiteboard as it made the lessons fun and interactive.

I have a very good teacher. Mistakes I made for some years and I didn't understand why it was a mistake. She corrected me and told me why it was wrong… My teacher is very patient.​

Absolutely loved it, advanced a lot in 7 weeks, teachers always had a prepared lesson and they adapted to my health needs too when I wanted to do something less intensive.
