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 !My teaching material

Rijendra is an excellent teacher, I highly recommend him. He's patient and encouraging, and his lessons are always engaging, with plenty of speaking practice. After just three lessons I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I can say and understand. Thanks Rijendra!

Another great lesson with Rijendra. I have been working with him for a couple months now to learn Nepali for my girlfriend and he is AWSOME!! Very knowledgeable and has a great balance between reviewing vocab and adding vocab.

Rijendra has been very good with me in taking the time to work through difficult words and phrases while also adding in new content.
He is a very great teacher and I would highly recommend him to any beginner who wants to learn Nepali.

Rijendra is a wonderful teacher and has been making my Nepali learning journey both enjoyable and tangibly successful. His teaching style is an excellent mix of spontaneous and structured that feels purposeful while allowing for questions and learning based on what pops up in conversational. I’d highly recommended him for supporting your Nepali learning journey

Another great lesson with Rejendra. We practiced full sentences to help with speaking. He is really great at going through and reinforcing already known word.
