This Basic Marathi language course for complete beginners will help you achieve a strong foundation in Marathi over 5 learning sessions. The focus is on developing Marathi comprehension and pronunciation skills up to the CEFR B1 level. The course caters to those who wish to engage effectively in everyday conversations and learn a range of vocabulary for daily use but have no prior experience in Marathi.

Marathi, an Indo-Aryan language, originates from Western India. It is the official language of the Indian state of Maharashtra, where it is spoken by over 83 million people. This makes Marathi one of the most spoken languages in India. Additionally, Marathi is recognized in Goa as well as parts of Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, and Gujarat.

Focusing exclusively on auditory learning enables you to develop their listening and pronunciation skills throughout each of the five sessions of this introductory course. Sessions are structured to gradually build vocabulary and comprehension through repetitive listening and practice exercises. Later content builds on content from prior sessions, for example single words learned earlier in the course are taught in phrases and then full sentence structures later in the course. The course starts out with everyday scenarios such as greetings and sharing personal information, so that you can start communicating in Marathi with confidence.

Structured to be engaging and easy to follow, the session are divided into short, topic-based segments allowing you to make steady progress without becoming overwhelmed. Regular reviews and practice exercises are included to reinforce learning and help you track your progress.

Upon completion of the final session you will be able to understand and use everyday expressions and basic Marathi phrases. You will be able to communicate across a range of situations, and interact in a simple way; as well as starting to develop broader vocabulary for deeper conversations.
