नमस्ते ! Namaste ! Bonjour ! Hello ! My name is Rijendra Shrestha, I live in Kathmandu and I speak French, English, Newari and Hindi. I am a Nepali and French language teacher, translator and author of French grammar books. I have a deep interest in other cultures and how people learn new languages. During my four years in France, I met people from different countries who were interested in Nepal. Thanks to them, I learned many things, of which I was not aware about my own country and culture. Thank you for reading my profile. धन्यवाद ! Dhanyabaad ! Merci ! Thank you !

Me as a Teacher
I am sure that you already know few words in Nepali, "namaste", "yoga", "Himalaya", "stupa", "yak"... Helping my students to learn Nepali is my main motivation. I have been teaching Nepali for 7 years and French for 12 years. I am a certified teacher with a master degree in teaching French as a foreign language. I am very patient with my students and believe that everyone learns at different pace. All my teaching methods suit my students' needs. Being once a student of French and English languages, I know what difficulties and challenges one faces while learning a new language.
My lessons & teaching style
I teach in a friendly atmosphere during our one-to-one lessons. I use diverse tools to make the lessons interactive and entertaining, such as famous Nepali songs lyrics, restaurant menus, pictures from the daily life in Kathmandu, interactive online vocabulary exercises. If you are a beginner, you will be learning how to greet in Nepali, introduce yourself, ask basic questions, talk about your family, useful sentences for shopping... In a few lessons, you will also learn to make simple sentences using basic structures of Nepali and Nepali alphabets. If you want to learn Nepali for a specific purpose, we can plan the lessons together to meet your goal. Hope to see you soon in class !

Yo teacher daami hununchha!
Rijendra helped me to build a very firm foundation in Nepali. We focus on important things like grammar and pronunciation, but he emphasizes an even greater importance on learning essential words, sentence structures, key phrases, real life scenarios, and to merely enjoy speaking Nepali. Rijendra is very patient, he is quick to listen and slow to speak. He is very flexible with lesson plans and his knowledge of the language is second to none. I've spent a couple months now in Nepal, and people will always tell me that the Nepali I speak is very good. They say it's "proper Nepali", or "it sounds very nice" or "pure Nepali". Often the Nepali I speak will surprise people. This is all thanks to Rijendra's tutoring. He will answer questions outside class time, cater to your needs, teach you transcript if you want to learn it, teach you old or familiar Nepali, you name it...there's nothing this man can't do.

Time alway flies during the lessons! We revised a bit and then dealt with many useful structures and practised. Progress is slow but it's good to see that my possibilities in Nepali are gradually expanding :) Rijendra is great at keeping the lesson interesting and challenging.
