Did you know? Mumbai's Ganesh Chaturthi festival is one of the largest religious celebrations in the world, for 10 days, millions of Mumbaikars welcome statues of Ganesh into their homes and into public pandals (large tents) before immersing them in the sea. The 'vada pav', a spiced potato patty in a small bun, costing roughly 20 cents, is Mumbai's emblematic street food and the most consumed dish in the city. Marathi boasts a tradition of 13th-century saint-poets (sant) like Dnyaneshwar and Tukaram, whose abhangas (hymns) are sung daily.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Marathi

Partially, both Marathi and Hindi are Indo-Aryan languages and share common Sanskrit roots. A Hindi speaker will recognize Marathi vocabulary, but grammatical differences are significant (case system, gender, conjugation). Mutual intelligibility is around 30-50% depending on register. Learning Marathi is faster if you already know Devanagari and Hindi grammar.
Devanagari has roughly 50 main characters (14 vowels, 36 consonants) with a very consistent phonetic logic. Most learners read it fluently in 4 to 6 weeks. Each character represents a consonant+vowel syllable, and dependent vowels modify the appearance of the consonant. It is an initial challenge, but once mastered, reading Marathi is practically phonetic.
Mumbai is India's financial capital, stock exchange, Bollywood, pharmaceuticals, tech startups. In professional circles, English and Hindi dominate. But in neighborhood life, the Crawford markets, the working-class suburbs, and in personal relationships, Marathi is the language of Mumbaikars' hearts. Speaking Marathi in Mumbai means moving beyond 'outsider' status and being accepted into the city's authentic community.
The Marathi diaspora in France is small (a few thousand, mainly in the Paris region) but culturally active. Ganesh festivals, cultural associations, and Marathi classes for French-born children keep the language alive. For French nationals of Marathi origin, learning their parents' language is often a priority for maintaining ties during visits to India.
Marathi is classified as a difficult language for Europeans, Devanagari script, inflectional grammar with 3 genders, SOV word order. For a French or English speaker, 12 to 16 months with 2 classes per week to reach B1. If you already speak Hindi, 4 to 6 months is enough for Marathi. Travelers and professionals preparing for a mission in Maharashtra can learn essential phrases in 2 to 3 months of targeted lessons.

Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.

What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.

DamienVerified purchase

Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.

Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.

AntoineVerified purchase

The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.
