Individual Conversation Partner

The purpose of the Conversation Partner Programme is to provide students with the opportunity to use their Hindi outside of the class or tuition context. The Individual Conversation Partner is not a trained teacher. They are only provided to give you someone with whom you can improve your conversational fluency. They will give minimal if any correction and they will use very little (if any) English.They will only seek to understand what you say, and seek to make you understand what they are saying. The emphasis will be on successful communication of ideas. They will be primed with materials and topics to aid conversation and trained in how to keep conversations going.

Milaap

Approximately once a month there will be the opportunity to practice your Hindi outside the classroomusing everyday situations. This course is appropriate for those at the Beginner Hindi level and those in the Intensive Package. Students will get the opportunity to buy their vegetables, catch an auto, discover Old Delhi, order food in a restaurant, give instructions to hired help, ask for directions and visit a market with a group which includes one of our Hindi teachers or conversation partners.

Individual tuition

Individual tuition is available over and above the general Hindi courses if students require remedial classes or if they are interested in particular topics. Please contact the EWLI office for more details.

FSI Examination

An external competency and proficiency test – please enquire with your teacher for further details.

Hindi / Urdu On-site classes

East West Language Institute conducts on-site University credit classes for Brown University, Rutgers University and the Institute for the International Education of Students (IES) in Delhi.

Intensive courses have also been conducted in Lucknow, Pune, and Bangalore. If your organization or group is interested in hosting an on-site class, please contact the Director for more details. We may be able to customize a course for your specific needs.

It is occasionally possible for us to cater to individuals who want Hindi instruction in their home. This will be a much more expensive option for individuals, since the time and cost of transportation both coming and going from our facilities in Said'ul'ajaib will be chargeable. Also, scheduling considerations often prohibit it, but when there is such a possibility, as when a teacher has an afternoon without any regular students, we are open to considering it.
