Urdu Classes for Kids in Oakville

For Oakville families who want their children to chat with relatives in Urdu, Kids Bolo offers live online classes that kids genuinely look forward to. Your child joins from home and learns alongside a few children their own age.

We know most kids here speak English all day, so we start there. Lessons mix English and Urdu, use Roman Urdu on bright, visual slides, and move toward more Urdu over time.

Oakville sits on the lake between Mississauga and Burlington. Glen Abbey, River Oaks, Bronte or up in Palermo, class is a laptop away, so there is no QEW traffic to worry about.
