Classes are taught by Todd Nachowitz, PhD, who has been studying Hindi and Urdu since 1978, and has lived and worked in India and Pakistan during the 1980s and 1990s. Todd has taught Hindi and Urdu at both Syracuse University in upstate New York and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the United States, as well as for the University of California-Berkeley while he was Field Director of the Berkley Urdu Language Programme (BULPIP) in Lahore, Pakistan.
Our 2019 Hindi class is generally for teens and adults, but children aged 10 and above can be considered for the class.

We will offer specially-tailored classes for children and young adults beginning in February 2020. An Urdu class, based in the Nastaliq script, will also be offered in February 2020.
