Your city. Our expertise. Live online.

When The Oriental Dialogue launched online classes, we made one decision that has never changed: every session is live, teacher-led, and interactive. Not a recording. Not a video library. A real class, in real time, with a teacher who corrects your pronunciation, answers your questions, and adapts to how you learn.

This is why our online students in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai progress at exactly the same pace as students sitting in our Baner classroom in Pune. Below, you will find pages tailored to the industries, opportunities, and professional context of each city — because what a software professional in Hyderabad needs from Korean is genuinely different from what a gems exporter in Jaipur needs from Mandarin.

The same class, wherever you are in India

The question we hear most from city-based learners: "Is online really as good as classroom?" Our answer, after teaching thousands of online students, is an unqualified yes — when the class is live, structured, and taught by an expert.

🎙️

Live. Every single class.

Every session is taught in real time by a certified teacher. No recordings. No video playlists. Your pronunciation is corrected. Your questions are answered. You are seen as a learner, not a username.

👥

Small batches — always

We cap our online batches the same way we cap classroom sessions — small groups where every student gets attention. Not the 200-person lecture halls that language apps pretend are "classes."

📅

Built for working schedules

Every city has professionals with the same constraint: a full-time job. Our batches start at 8 PM and run on weekends. The curriculum is designed so two sessions a week produce real, measurable progress.

📚

Same material, same teachers

Our in-house Mandarin textbooks, our Japan Foundation-aligned Japanese curriculum, and our TOPIK-mapped Korean course are identical online and offline. Your city is not a second-class experience.

📜

Certificate from a named institute

Every completed level earns you a certificate and a digital LinkedIn badge from The Oriental Dialogue — a 13-year-old Pune institute with a 4.9-star Google reputation. Not a generic "completion badge" from a faceless app.

🎯

Industry-relevant from Day 1

If you are in automotive, pharma, IT, or exports, we know your vocabulary. Our courses are designed to make you useful in your professional context — not just conversationally fluent in a vacuum.

Frequently asked by learners across India

I am not in Pune. Can I still attend your classes?
Yes — and most of our students outside Pune have been with us for years. Our online classes run live on Google Meet or Zoom and are identical to our classroom programme in Baner. We have active students from Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Gurgaon, Ahmedabad, Indore, Jaipur, Vizag, and Coimbatore, as well as from Singapore, the UK, and the US. If you have a stable internet connection and a consistent schedule, city doesn't matter.
Which language should I learn — Mandarin, Japanese, or Korean?
The honest answer: it depends on your industry and city more than anything else. If you work in automotive in Chennai or Gurgaon, Japanese or Korean is the clearest career move. If you're in trade, exports, or pharma procurement with China, Mandarin is the answer. If you're in IT in Hyderabad or Bengaluru with Japanese or Korean clients, pick that language. If you're in it for culture — K-drama, anime, or travel — pick whichever excites you more, because motivation is the only thing that sustains language learning. Attend our free demo to try a class before deciding.
Do I need any prior knowledge of East Asian languages to join?
None at all. Our Foundation courses start from absolute zero — no script knowledge, no vocabulary, no prior exposure required. Within the first few sessions, you will be reading Hiragana, understanding Hangeul, or speaking your first Mandarin tones. We have taught hundreds of complete beginners across India and the pattern is always the same: early apprehension, rapid early progress, and growing confidence by week four.
What are the timings for online batches?
We run weekday evening batches (typically 8 PM–9:30 PM or 9 PM–10 PM IST) and weekend batches on Saturday and Sunday mornings and afternoons. We schedule specifically around working professionals — no mid-morning or afternoon slots that only students can attend. Check the individual language pages for the most current batch schedules, as these are updated every month.
How long does it take to get to a useful level?
With two to three sessions per week and consistent personal practice, most working professionals reach a practically useful conversational level — able to handle meetings, emails, and everyday interactions — within 9–12 months. HSK 1 or JLPT N5 certification (the first recognised external milestone) is typically achievable within 6–8 months for Foundation + Level 1 students who study consistently. Speed varies by individual, but our structured curriculum is designed to maximise every hour of class time.
Will I get a certificate that means something professionally?
Yes. Every completed level earns you a certificate of completion and a marksheet from The Oriental Dialogue, issued after your level assessment. You also receive a digital verifiable badge that can be displayed directly on your LinkedIn profile — visible to employers, recruiters, and professional connections. This is available from Foundation level onwards, so you can start signalling your language learning professionally from your very first completed course. For stronger external credibility, we also prepare students for HSK (Mandarin), JLPT (Japanese), and TOPIK (Korean) — internationally recognised certification exams.
My company wants to train a team in Mandarin or Japanese. Can you help?
Yes — corporate training is a major part of what we do. We have trained teams from Johnson Controls, Bosch, Jabil, Yanfeng, Michelin, KPIT, Fujitsu, MAHLE, and Forvia, among others. All corporate programmes are fully customised: vocabulary, scheduling, pace, and delivery format (online or in-person) are built around your team's specific role and context. Contact us at aditi@theorientaldialogue.com or visit our corporate training page for details.
