Why Nepali?
Four reasons to take Nepali classes
Trek the Himalayas Like a Local
Nepal is home to eight of the world's ten tallest mountains. Speaking Nepali transforms trekking from a guided tour into genuine encounters with mountain communities.
Gateway to Hindi and Sanskrit
Nepali uses the Devanagari script and shares deep roots with Hindi. Learning Nepali gives you a strong foundation for the entire Indo-Aryan language family.
Connect With a Growing Diaspora
Nepali communities have grown rapidly in the US, UK, and Australia. Speaking Nepali connects you to one of the fastest-growing immigrant communities in the English-speaking world.
Support Meaningful Development Work
Nepal is a major focus for international development organizations. Nepali fluency makes aid work, research, and community partnerships dramatically more effective.

Nepali in Los Angeles
नमस्कार ! Welcome to Strommen.
With a Strommen teacher you will speak Nepali on the first class. A private session is more effective, efficient and convenient than enrolling in a group class. Your Strommen teacher will be a perfect fit for your needs and learning style. We equate 10 hours of private classes with a full semester in a traditional college or group class.
Scheduling is convenient (7 days a week, any time of day), and you can start right away. You can easily reschedule, so you will never miss a class and get left behind. In a private class you do the speaking. There are no other students to hide behind or take up all of the teacher’s time. Your teacher will make sure you progress at your pace, rather than the pace of the best (or worst) student in the class. Strommen further enriches your learning experience with free podcasts, videos, online resources, Strommen Language Meetups around LA, group classes, workshops and even annual immersion trips.
Getting started is easy, just fill out our student application or call and we will help choose the best teacher for you. We decide on a specific teacher based on a number of criteria including a professional gut-feeling. We will make sure it is the perfect match. As a student, your Strommen teacher will be highly dedicated to you. Many of our teachers meet at cafes, at their home office, or anywhere you like. We believe it’s fundamentally wrong to really learn a language from a text book, audio CD, or computer program. It’s time to get away from the computer, grab a coffee and meet your Strommen teacher to have a real conversation!

Nepali class FAQ
What is the best way to learn Nepali?
Regular conversation with a native Nepali speaker is the most effective method. Nepali's honorific system — where verb forms and even common words change depending on the formality of the situation — is almost impossible to learn from a book. You need a native speaker to explain when and why you'd use a particular form. Learning Devanagari script early is also important; it's not as hard as it looks and typically takes a couple of weeks to get comfortable with. Between lessons, Nepali music and YouTube channels aimed at learners can help reinforce what you've studied.
How long does it take to learn Nepali?
Nepali is generally considered moderately difficult for English speakers, comparable to Hindi. With regular lessons, most students can manage basic conversations in 4 to 6 months. Learning the Devanagari script adds some time upfront but pays off quickly. If you already speak Hindi or another Indo-Aryan language, you'll progress significantly faster due to shared vocabulary and similar grammar structures. Full working proficiency typically takes 1 to 2 years of consistent study.
Is Nepali hard for English speakers?
It's in the middle range. The Devanagari script takes some getting used to, and the verb conjugation system is more complex than English, with different forms for tense, gender, and politeness level. Word order is subject-object-verb, which takes adjustment. On the positive side, Nepali pronunciation is consistent and phonetic once you learn the script, and there are more English loanwords in modern Nepali than you might expect. The hardest part for most learners is mastering the social registers — knowing when to use formal vs. informal language.
Can I take Nepali classes online?
Yes. All Nepali lessons are available online via video call. Nepali is not widely taught in the US, so online lessons give you access to qualified native-speaking tutors that you're unlikely to find at a local language school. Our tutors can share their screen for Devanagari writing practice, and the conversational focus of our lessons works just as well over video as in person.
