A Maharashtrian Community That Has Been in Norway for Twenty Years
Maharashtra Mandal Norway, based in Oslo, was founded in 2005 and has grown from four founding members to over 300 active members. Maharashtrian families are spread across Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen, and Trondheim, working primarily in oil and gas, IT, research, and healthcare.
Stavanger, as Norway's oil capital, has a particularly active Indian professional community. Many Maharashtrian families have been in Norway long enough to raise their children entirely in a Norwegian and English environment. The language gap in these households is real, and growing.
For NRI Parents Raising Children in Oslo and Stavanger
Norwegian schools are excellent, the environment is child-friendly, and life outside home is almost entirely in Norwegian or English. Marathi, for most children of Maharashtrian parents in Norway, is what they hear at home, at Mandal events like Diwali and Gudi Padwa, and during summers in India.
That is enough for passive understanding. It is not enough for active speaking. Our one-to-one online classes fill exactly that gap — a regular, weekly, dedicated practice space where your child can speak Marathi with a patient native teacher, without pressure, without the script, and at their own pace.
How Our Classes Work for Norwegian Families
All classes are online, one-to-one, 40 to 60 minutes per session. For families in Norway, CET afternoon slots between 3:30 pm and 5:30 pm are most practical after school. Weekend morning slots are also available.
We work with children from age 5 and with adults at any level. Many Norway-based families also use Speak Marathi to help parents themselves maintain their conversational Marathi — the language shifts even for adult emigrants over years abroad.
