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 !

Comme d'habitude, un cours très bien conçu et qui m'a incitée à me dépasser et à construire des phrases plus complexes.
Rijendra est très patient et précis, c'est un vrai plaisir d'apprendre avec lui ! J'ai hâte de la suite!

I will 100% be using this teacher moving forward.
He was incredibly kind and offered to run overtime for first class after I turned up late - having been sick & feverish for a few days it took a good 15 minutes getting from my bed to the computer.
We did the first lesson, I learnt a little and I'm looking forward to the next class now I'm well again!

I highly recommend taking a lesson with Rijendra! He's a very patient and understanding teacher. He conducts classes in an engaging way, flexibly selecting topics and levels of proficiency to suit your needs. He uses a variety of materials during the lessons, making learning new things enjoyable. I've been learning Nepali with Rijendra for a month now and I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I can learn in such a short time.
