For Marathi Families Raising Children in New York
New York’s Maharashtrian community gathers for Gudi Padwa in Queens, celebrates festivals together, and stays connected to Maharashtra in many ways. But the language is harder to hold on to.
Your child may have grown up hearing Marathi at home, at family gatherings, on video calls with ajoba in Pune. They may understand most of what is said. But somewhere between understanding and speaking, there is a gap. And the longer it stays, the wider it grows.
The Problem with Most Marathi Language Options in New York
New York has weekend Indian language schools, but most use grammar-and-script-first approaches that do not work for children who already have conversational exposure to Marathi.
What these children need is not a class that treats them as beginners. They need structured speaking practice with a patient native speaker who understands why a bilingual child raised in New York code-mixes, freezes, and answers in English.
How Our Online Classes Fit New York Schedules
Classes are held over video call, one-to-one, within a window of 7 am to 9 pm Indian Standard Time. For New York families, that means evening slots from around 9:30 pm EST on weekdays and morning slots from 7:30 am EST on weekends.
Each session is 40 to 60 minutes. Your child works with the same teacher every week so they build a real relationship and real speaking confidence. You choose the frequency based on your family’s schedule.
Starting Is Easy
The first session is always a free demo. Your child meets their teacher, speaks a little Marathi, and you figure out together where they are and what the right approach is. No pressure, no test, no commitment.
Most families notice a difference within 6 to 8 sessions. Not perfect Marathi. But a child who is willing to try. A child who responds to aaji instead of going quiet. And honestly, that is the whole point.
Simple to Start, Designed to Last
Three easy steps from your first demo to your child's first Marathi sentence.

The Marathi Starts Happening
