Why OAKOKHO Exists



Thousands of Assamese families across the world face a quiet challenge: their children grow up far from the land, language, and customs that define their identity.

OAKOKHO bridges that gap. We offer structured Assamese language classes, celebrate traditional festivals like Bihu, share stories, songs, and literature — everything it takes to keep a culture vibrant across generations and across oceans.

Chiranjit is a wonderful teacher and engaging every Sunday. He cares about his students and preserving Assamese culture. He spent time on the fundamentals (reading, writing, and speaking) as well as ensuring the class was fun with games. He taught us a variety of topics and phrases. I am excited to visit Assam to use the Assamese language!

I'm incredibly grateful and happy for the outstanding Assamese language education that my child has received under the guidance of Chiranjit Bordoloi at OAKOKHO. Chiranjit goes beyond traditional teaching methods, making learning Assamese enjoyable and engaging for the students. He is very supportive, patient and always encourages his students. His passion for teaching the language is commendable. The website is very well designed and has many interesting and interactive study materials for students to explore. My son has not only improved his language skills, but has also developed a genuine interest in Assamese culture. I'm very pleased with the positive impact Chiranjit has had on my child's language education.
