How does Online Phase 1 work?
To do Phase 1 online you will need a computer, recording device and an internet connection. Using the apps Zoom and Miro, you will participate in listening and pointing exercises that visually connect new words directly to pictures.
As your vocabulary grows, you'll start building your own basic sentences through fun, interactive activities. By the the end of the 100 hours of this first course, you'll have acquired nearly 1000 words and be communicating in simple sentences!

The Phase 1 schedule should fit your needs. We recommend four hours of class per day for five days per week, finishing in just six weeks. Our two most popular options are listed below. Also note that kids are encouraged to join their parents' Phase 1 course for just $100. Please schedule a consultation or free trial class today to let us know how we can serve your needs best.
Option 1: 2 Hours/Day,
4 Days/Week Online
Class Dates: May 5-July 31
Mondays-Thursdays
-6:30pm-8:30pmIST* (8am-10am CST)
*Overtime rates apply*
(We have one participant interested in this time so it may be more likely to get the pair rate if you let us know you're interested in this Option 1.
Option 2: 2 Hours/Day Course Online
Class Dates: May 5-July 11
Mondays-Friday
1:50pm-3:50pm IST
(We have one participant confirmed for this timing though the start date is not yet sure. This will be an accelerated Phase 1 so best if you already have a little bit of Hindi knowledge and want to have a good review before moving to Phase 2.)
Option 3: 4 Hours/Day Course In Person
Class Dates: June 2-July 4
Mondays-Fridays
-9:10am-1:10pm IST or
-2pm-6pm IST
(We have one participant confirmed for this time though the start date is not yet sure. If you are interested in a similar timing in person, you are more likely to receive the pair rate).
Option 4: Phases 1-5 Courses Starting Regularly
When would it be ideal for you to start Phase 1-5? Do you want in person or online? Do you want individual course or group course? 10 hours per week, 15 hours per week, 20 hours per week, or 25 hours per week? Which language do you prefer: Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Marathi or Telugu?
The courses listed for Options 1-3 currently have strong interest from other participants though the details are not completely confirmed. So you would most likely receive the pair rate for joining Options 1-3 or you would receive the individual rate for starting at another day/time.
We are happy to work with you to adjust start dates and times based on your unique needs. We are also happy to advertise your ideal start time here on our site to see if we can find a peer or group for you, but we give no guarantee we can provide peers.
We are happy to work with you to get you started at a pace and time that is helpful for you as we are able, though we require a 10 hour/week minimum. Contact us for more information.
Mondays-Fridays between 9am IST-6pm IST
(We offer classes between 6pm-10pm IST at our overtime rate and the 10 hour minimum is not required in this block).
See our GPA Page for the Durations of Phases 1-5. If you are wanting to start with us but already have some experience, we will help you assess which Phase is right for you.
