MBK Hindi Language Classes School

I am currently in my third year of Hindi class with MBK. I have learned so much in the time I have attended this class that I am able to read the signs and books in India and converse with many of my relatives very easily. In MBK, Hindi students are educated well about the Hindi language as well as the Hindu religion. The two aspects of MBK come together well because we read books that are associated with Hinduism in the Hindi language. This helps students develop a better understanding for what India is like. Students learn how to speak, write, read, and converse easily in Hindi. The teachers help out students by focusing on individuals that need help until the student thoroughly understands. MBK is a great program for any child that would like to learn a language that is not as common as others!

MBK Hindi is a great place to learn Hindi and my three years of being a student there was very fun. Also, the teachers are really helpful and want you to succeed in the class. The classes there are challenging and are sometimes really stressful. But, I really like my experience there and thanks to Madhu Ji for making it possible!

Three years ago, I took this class as a replacement for Spanish for my college language credit. Rather than taking it as a language I could learn, I had taken the language solely for the purpose of receiving credit for a language. But, as I began going to this class I began to realize how lucky I was to be part of MBK Hindi. The teachers at MBK, teach solely on the basis of trying to find a way to teach the students so that, the students can learn to their most optimum level. Because of the hard working teachers and the curriculum taught to me and the other students the learning is maximized. I went from not being able to read a single word in Hindi to being able to read whole books. MBK is truly a great learning center for being able to learn Hindi and I guarantee anyone who joins will learn more than they thought possible.

This is my third year with MBK and I truly enjoyed the experience. I was interested in MBK because I wanted to learn Hindi, so that I learn more about India and converse with my family in India. The teachers are experienced and very helpful. One of the cool things about the Hindi program for me is that I get to meet people who go to different schools and it gave me an opportunity to make new friends. We have all bonded over group projects, class discussions, breaks, and field trips. Every year we read books, learn about important people and learn a lot of vocabulary. However, since I am in my junior year in high school and Hindi 3 is a lot more vigorous, it has been a little challenging. Nevertheless, Madhu Aunty has been really supportive and has offered me a lot of help throughout the year. The program is outside school, so the only disadvantage is that my parents have to drive me to every class. We are lucky to have MBK in the bay area where we get to learn our language and get High School credits as well. --Nikita Pasumarthi

MBK is a great organization which has empowered me to learn and improve my Hindi skills drastically. For the past two years I have been learning Hindi here for credit. I have learned about culture, religion, and history as well in this fun course. I would truly recommend this course to anyone interested in expanding their knowledge in Hindi.

MBK Hindi is a great option for your kids, especially if they are available at your local elementary school. My son has been taking classes in Los Altos for the last few years and will continue next year. His reading has improved the most, but vocabulary remains the biggest challenge. The teachers for the younger kids seem to be pretty good, but it depends on your luck since teachers change. My daughter will be starting next year as well. Hindi is hard for my kids (probably their hardest subject) since we don't speak it at home, but they'll be glad they stuck with it, I hope!

For the past three years, I have been learning Hindi from this MBK Hindi Language Center. By doing this, I gained high school and college credits that were used towards my graduation requirements. The class itself was extremely fun and interesting. There are lots of activities through this language learning program including a Holi festival which was tons of fun! In the class, we learn lots of vocabulary and the great teachers make the complicated grammar seem like a piece of cake to learn. They also motivate us to become excellent in this subject. Most of this vocabulary comes from famous stories, plays, and poems. Grading is fair, and is an accurate reflection of how well you know the language and how much you participate in the class activities. MBK offers classes for the beginner to the very advanced so even if you don't know Hindi at all, you can still start learning.
