Connecting Families Across the North of England

From Manchester and Birmingham to Leicester, Leeds, and Sheffield, Maharashtrian families across the North and Midlands share a deep pride in their heritage. Whether settled here for decades or raising a young family in the UK, maintaining that cultural thread remains an intentional choice.

For children growing up in UK schools, English naturally becomes their first language of thought and expression. While many kids absorb Marathi around the house and understand their parents effortlessly, actually speaking back in full sentences often brings hesitation. We help turn that passive understanding into confident, active conversation through relaxed, 1-on-1 practice.

Dedicated Marathi Speaking Practice for Kids in Manchester

Building real speaking confidence in an English-first environment takes regular, active practice. Our live 1-on-1 online sessions offer your child a fun, conversational environment tailored to their exact starting point.

Classes are customized around your family’s routine, making it simple to schedule regular sessions around UK school hours and weekend activities.

For NRI Parents Raising Children in Manchester & Northern England

If you're raising a child in Manchester who understands Marathi when spoken at home but defaults straight to English when replying, you're not alone. Our live 1-on-1 online classes give children aged 5 and up a relaxed, supportive space to build active speaking confidence.

Our native Marathi tutors assess your child's starting proficiency during the free demo session, and customise the classes to match their learning pace and style. The flexible scheduling options are designed to fit seamlessly around UK school hours and weekend family plans.

Learning Marathi for Love, Connection, and Family in Manchester

Language is one of the most meaningful ways we connect with the people we care about. Across Manchester and the North of England - from Greater Manchester and Birmingham to Leeds, Sheffield, and Leicester - many adults come to Marathi through cross-cultural relationships, marrying into a Maharashtrian family, or a personal desire to reconnect with your roots while living abroad.

Whether you’re a non-Indian partner learning phrases to warm the hearts of your in-laws during trips to India, or an NRI adult wanting to converse comfortably at home without second-guessing grammar, our 1-on-1 classes offer a warm, judgment-free space. We focus on natural, everyday spoken conversation - with flexible scheduling tailored to UK time (between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM GMT).

Can a complete beginner learn Marathi online from Manchester?

Yes. A lot of our students are complete beginners or non-Maharashtrians in Manchester who are starting from scratch. Our native Marathi speaking tutors have experience working with NRI adults, children and non Indian students and have a good understanding of the challenges and obstacles you may face while learning the language.

I’m an NRI adult who understands Marathi but can’t speak fluently. Are these classes suitable for me?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our adult learners already have passive understanding from hearing Marathi at home. Our 1-on-1 sessions focus on breaking through hesitation, improving grammar, and turning your passive understanding into fluent, active conversation in a safe, judgment free environment.

Do I need to learn the Devanagari script to speak Marathi?

No, learning to read or write the Devanagari script is completely optional. We use English transliteration (phonetic Marathi written in English letters) so you can skip the complex script and jump straight into holding natural conversations with your family.

How do you keep NRI children engaged during online language lessons?

We work with children aged 5 and up using interactive, conversation-first methods tailored to kids growing up in English-speaking environments. Lessons are structured around fun topics, real-life scenarios, and light storytelling to keep young learners motivated and comfortable.

How quickly can I expect to start speaking full sentences with my family?

Since our approach is conversation-focused rather than textbook-heavy, most students—both complete beginners and adults reconnecting with their roots—begin forming basic everyday sentences within their first few 1-on-1 sessions.

Justine Rebutica

Speak Marathi is an excellent language-learning school. My teacher, Payal, is incredibly accommodating, patient, and flexible, which makes learning Marathi enjoyable and stress-free. The learning materials are well-structured and easy to understand, even for beginners. I highly recommend Speak Marathi to anyone who wants to learn Marathi effectively and confidently.

Rachael Newman

Payal is a wonderful teacher. I really love her teaching. I really appreciate the Speak Marathi program.

Subbarao Garlapati

Speak Marathi is fantastic! They break down the language into bite sized lessons that are well designed - visually appealing and build up well. The program is very functionally oriented - the program is not oriented around having you be able to read Marathi textbooks and know advanced grammar patterns but rather to easily and fluently communicate with others. This is not only something that most people appreciate but also is the way that you see the most tangible results, which keeps your motivation very high throughout the process. I’ve been with Speak Marathi for over a year now and I’ve had two instructors, both of whom are very good. It’s rare to find online teachers that care and put the effort in the whole class. Mee Speak Marathi kadoon khup shik-loh aanee too khup shik-naar sooddha! P.S. A lot of my friends learning other Indian languages such as Telugu wish that there was a program like Speak Marathi for them!

Charlotte Waters

Learning with Speak Marathi has been a wonderful experience so far. My one-on-one lessons with Akshata have been highly personalised and interactive, and I've enjoyed discussing the language with her – she's very passionate and always happy to answer my questions! Right from the start, Marathi is taught in a holistic way, focusing on common grammatical structures and patterns that characterise real spoken conversations. This provides a great foundation to build on as your vocabulary expands over time. It also allowed me to follow along with conversations when I visited India for the first time, even though it was quite early in my learning journey. Overall, Speak Marathi has deepened my understanding and appreciation of Marathi, helping me connect with my partner's family on a new level. It's also been lots of fun, which is a nice bonus!

Onkar Bapat

We signed up for remote Marathi classes for my daughter. We got setup with their instructor Payal fairly quickly. Payal was a great instructor, very patient and was always flexible in case we had plans and needed to switch the class timings. My daughter learnt the basics of reading writing pretty quickly. Would highly recommend Payal and Speak Marathi to anyone overseas and within India that wants to learn languages.

Akshali Gandhi

So happy I came across Speak Marathi online! It’s difficult to find good resources for adult language learning and they take a structured approach, while still making it fun and enjoyable. Anolika was a great teacher and I’m grateful for her flexibility around my work hours. I hope to one day rejoin if they ever had US-time zone based tutors!

Gemma Sawarkar

Speak Marathi makes it so easy to learn! The method of teaching is so well planned that it allows you to understand sentence structures and start making them on your own in no time at all. Incredibly friendly teachers and staff and an overall positive experience at every class. Thank you Speak Marathi!

R3nzo

My Wife and I are both from Maharashtra but have been living abroad for more than a 15 years. We miss our home and had to find ways to keep our children connected with our culture. We found that YouTube videos were helpful, but they didn't have the same impact on their speech as a teacher would. That's why we started taking regular lessons with Deepa from Speak Marathi. Deepa is an extremely patient, humble and knowledgeable teacher who plans her lessons in a very structured way. In just about a year, I can see how my children have grown to speak complete sentences in Marathi, tell me some folklore stories and even remind me about any festivals that were celebrated recently—all thanks to Deepa and her hard work! I strongly recommend giving Speak Marathi a try if you're looking for both fun language lessons and an introduction to Indian culture!

Sonny Mujumdar

Wanted my daughter to learn my mother tongue…Marathi. I was lucky to find “Speak Marathi” Aditi and Deepa. Deepa is a very patient teacher and encourages my daughter to learn at her own pace. She gives homework which is a revision of all the work they have done together as well as exercises to be done before the next class. A very systematically designed curriculum! Aditi handles the backend processed abs ensures that billing is done on time, getting payments, scheduling classes, etc. I highly recommend this institute for learning the Marathi language…whether is you Or your kids. They’re the very best! Reach out to me if you need anything else. Thanks. Happy learning.
