Sarah Witzig My detailed review of Indian Lingua, the best language school you will find in India (my review is based on the Hindi course!):I found this school based on its excellent reviews and reached out to Mukesh to express interest. I was immediately drawn to how easy he made it for me as an American visitor to Jaipur. My homestay was arranged totally by Mukesh at a lovely "homestay" (or "bed and breakfast" for those more familiar with that term) which is a 650m/0.4mile walk from the class location. I picked the package to pay for daily breakfast and dinner through Michael's homestay, which has been so nice. Every day I wake up with coffee and masala chai and some great breakfast food, and every evening I have some new delicious food like bhaingan bartha, dal, chapatti, shahi paneer and more. The price of the stay AND food is so reasonable and the host family is really sweet.The neighborhood is a very nice one, and I've found also very welcoming to foreigners. The price you pay is always at MSRP or less, and neighbors and shopkeepers are endlessly forgiving with my beginner Hindi.I chose an intensive Hindi course with Mukesh, which is structured using much of his standard curriculum, as well as room to ask a million other questions.After just a week and a half, in which I've had 40 hours of lessons, I feel much more empowered to move about the city, have conversations with kind people in Jaipur, go shopping, and have even had a five minute phone conversation with my mother-in-law only in Hindi. At the end of week 2, I had my first ever Hindi conversation with my partner, whose native language is Hindi. I was really shocked hearing my partner's voice speaking Hindi, for so long it has sounded like an incomprehensible yet beautiful language, but now I hear him in a totally different way.About the course structure:I am doing private tuition with Mukesh and sometimes Rishi. I value structure, so it's been really nice to have structured grammar and vocab lessons, which are always followed by worksheets and conversation practice to attain a deeper understanding. There's also an app which is made by Mukesh and Rishi (it's really good, better than a lot of other Hindi apps I've used).Overall, I can heartily recommend Indian Lingua as your place to start your Hindi journey or build upon a foundation of any size.Attached are a few fun photos from my time here in Jaipur.
