Urdu Classes for Kids in Dallas

Whether you are in Plano, Frisco, Irving or anywhere else in Dallas-Fort Worth, your child can join a live Kids Bolo Urdu class without leaving the house. Classes are small, friendly and online, with class times that suit families on Central time.

If your children understand Urdu when the grandparents call but reply in English, you are not alone, and that is the gap our classes are designed to close. Teachers start with a mix of English and Urdu, use Roman Urdu on every slide, and build up to more Urdu week by week.

The Metroplex covers a lot of ground, from McKinney and Allen in the north to Arlington and Fort Worth in the west. Wherever you are, class is one click away, so nobody spends their evening on the freeway.

Why DFW families choose Kids Bolo

  • Practice that sticks. Lessons come back to words and sentences again and again, with review time built in, so new Urdu does not slip away.
  • Classes on Central time. Our class pages list times that work for families in Texas and the rest of Central time.
  • Grouped by age. Conversational classes are split into ages 5 to 7, 8 to 10 and 11 to 13, with 3 to 5 children in each group.
  • No commute. Your child joins from home on a laptop or tablet, so Urdu fits into a busy school night.
  • Roman Urdu, then script. Children start speaking with Urdu written in English letters. Older learners can add Urdu script classes from age 13.
