Sawl International Language Academy

Sawl International Language Academy is tucked away on the fourth floor over in Zakir Nagar. It’s in Gali No. 9, right on the left side of the street. The walk up the stairs is honestly a bit of a workout every single morning, but you get used to it after a week or two of doing it. We started this because we noticed a lot of people around here wanted to learn different languages but didn't really have a local place to go. It’s just a simple setup up here with basic furniture and a few whiteboards. We have a few rooms where we sit and go over grammar and speaking together. It gets quite lively and even a bit loud when there are a couple of groups going at once. The neighborhood is always noisy with people and bikes, but once you’re inside, it’s not too bad at all. We aren’t some big chain school with shiny posters or a big marketing budget. It’s just us teaching what we know in a way that makes sense. Sometimes the tea runs out before the last class finishes, but someone usually goes down to grab more from the vendor on the street below. We’ve had students from all over the local area come through our doors. The space isn’t huge, but it works for what we do. We try to keep the windows open when it’s nice out, though the dust from the street can be a bit much. It's a very real place.
