Mukesh is an excellent teacher, classes are well organized, he is very attentive and has a positive attitude. Is very easy to understand the topics as he has all the tools to explain them, he listens to my feedback and adjust the classes as we see fit. I have made amazing progress and now I can talk more confidently because he is very knowledgeable in Hindi grammar. Highly recommended!!

Have had the pleasure of taking Hindi classes with Rishi over a couple of years. The journey had been fulfilling, learnt Hindi from scratch and now able to speak freely with friends and native speakers. Traveled to Jaipur and lot of Northern India places, and now can easily converse and make friends.
Classes started off with most importance given to grammatical sentence constructions. Rishi has a structured syllabus, which introduces you to different aspects of the language step by step. And methods used are presentations, stories, worksheets, live dialogues and take-home exercises. Before start of every class, we had casual conversations and revision of the material covered before.
Rishi's passion for the language, patience to fix mistakes and have fun along the way learning this wonderful language. Wholeheartedly recommend Rishi for becoming an expert conversationalist in Hindi !

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.

Risih and Mukesh are excellent teachers. Very professional. They have a structured course.I have been with them for the past 6 months. I did not have any background with the Hindi language. Risih and Mukesh were both very patient with me. They have excellent teaching skills and are able to break down the grammar rules for me. I enjoy the conversation practice and the worksheets I am given. I would definitely recommend anyone to sign up for their school. You will be very satisfied with your progress in the Hindi language. It isn’t an easy language to learn but with these great teachers you will catch on!

Beeing doing one to one intensive course. The theachers are very professional and explain and apply the grammar structures which has helped med to understand how the Hindi language is build up . They are also very helpful in the way they understand in what level in the language I am, and not afraid to correct which is very important when learning a language. The methods they used during the course have helped me to be more confident when speaking. Will defently recommend this classes for those who really wants to improve their Hindi. Worksheets they were using were very logical build up with grammar discussed during the classes. The worksheets is up to date like that it is possible to use the conversations in my daily life. When some grammar points is missing they have always prepared new work sheets to help me out to understand the concept of the language more easily. It is been very effective to me.

I'd tried a few teachers before I found Indian LIngua and Mukesh. I quickly realised I'd finally found the teacher I was looking for - and that in turn inspired me to go to Jaipur and do an immersive week of lessons.
I had lessons from both Mukesh and Rishi everyday - with breaks to try my new found Hindi skills on the local shopkeepers, taxi drivers and kids. The lessons were structured, perfectly explained and just good fun. I also stayed at a local homestay where I had the chance to use my Hindi over breakfast and dinner.
I couldn't recommend it more

Mukesh has a great way of approaching each lesson, each one building and reinforcing on prior lessons. He shows great patience with being a new learner, and has a logical way of teaching and building up knowledge. The new material is taught in an engaging way and practice within each lesson helps to not forget what prior lessons have gone over. I highly recommend him to anyone and I have already recommended to family.

Really enjoyed my classes here. My teacher Rishiji completely made a lesson plan from scratch for me and my personal learning goals.

My partner and I are having Urdu lessons with our teacher Michael. He’s really fantastic, he moves at our pace and teaches us language relevant for us to use at home. We have quickly learnt to read Urdu script and are gaining confidence with speaking. Every week he gives us worksheets and new vocabulary to practice. The thing that sets him apart for us is that he is an English native speaker who has become fluent in Urdu, so he’s really able to help me from that perspective, he’s able to help with overcoming particular pronunciation difficulties through his own experiences of learning the language. I’m starting to converse with my partners family in Urdu and I’m really enjoying the lessons.

I'm learning online hindi bhasha in this school and I like it very much! The lessons are informative, easy to understand and held in a very friendly atmosphere. I learn speaking language and my tutor gives me a lot of idioms and useful expressions of every day life. I became to know not only hindi language, but also a lot of cultural and national aspects of Indian life which is very diverse!
