At Zabaan, I made friends with the Urdu alphabets and script! The school, situated behind Prithvi cafe in Juhu, enjoys a prime location, both geographically and in terms of attracting a crowd that appreciates art, culture and diversity. Ali's instructions are lucid, logical and personalised. His method of teaching can make you question the way languages are taught in schools as part of our formal education as kids. In the process of unlearning and learning, I realised that within the first two lectures, the fear of an unknown script was gone and I was no longer intimidated by it. What seemed alien at first, slowly started making sense. Most importantly, the school provides an ambience conducive to learning and reading. If you are looking at broadening your skill set or opening the doors of your mind to a new experience via learning a new language, Zabaan is the place to be!
