Big State, Close-Knit Community

Texas has become home to thousands of Maharashtrian families. Engineers in Austin, doctors in Houston, and IT professionals in Plano, Irving and Frisco have built a community that celebrates together, cooks together, and welcomes Ganpati Bappa home with real joy every year.

But in a state this big, family and friends are often spread across long drives. For many children, Marathi becomes something they hear at home and at festivals, yet almost never get the chance to speak. Over time, that quiet gap can make calls with grandparents in India feel a little more hesitant than they should.

Speaking Practice That Fits Around School and Sports

Texas kids are busy. Between school, soccer, swim practice and piano, a weekend language class across town can be hard to keep up with, however good the intentions.

Our classes are online and 1-on-1, so there's no driving and no rushing. Your child logs in from home, works with the same tutor every week, and practises speaking about the things they actually talk about: school, friends, food and games. Whether they already understand a lot or are just beginning, the tutor meets them right where they are.

For Adults Reconnecting with Marathi

Many adults in Texas grew up outside Maharashtra or moved to the US when they were young. You can follow a whole conversation with your aaee, yet you reply in English without even thinking about it.

Our 1-on-1 classes help you make the move from understanding to speaking. We work on the Marathi you'll use on phone calls home, during family visits and at festival time, and you set the pace that feels comfortable.

Learning Marathi for Love, Family, and Belonging

If you married into a Maharashtrian family, you already know how much of family life happens in Marathi. There's the teasing at the dinner table, the stories about aazobaa, and the endless questions about when you'll visit next.

We help non-Marathi partners join in with confidence. Our classes focus on warm, everyday conversation in a judgment-free space, so you can talk with your in-laws, share a laugh, and feel truly at home on your next trip to India.

Scheduling for Texas

Our tutors are available on weekdays and weekends from 7 AM to 12 PM and 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM CST. Weekend mornings suit most families with school-age children, and many adults like to fit in an evening class after work.

The first class is always a free demo with no obligation. Meet your tutor, try a little Marathi, and see if it feels right for your family. We'd love to see you online!

There's no Marathi school near us. Will online classes work for my child?

My child understands Marathi but answers in English. Can you help?

Yes. This is the situation most of our students start from. We focus on getting your child to speak, with simple, low-pressure practice in every single class.

Do you teach reading and writing too?

Our focus is speaking. If you'd like your child to read and write Devanagari as well, your tutor can add it to the lessons.

I'm an adult and a complete beginner. Can I join?

Yes. We teach adults who are starting from scratch, as well as those who already understand some Marathi.

Can my non-Indian spouse learn Marathi with you?

Yes. Many of our students are partners of Maharashtrians. Classes are built around real family conversations, so what you learn is useful straight away.

How long is each class?

Classes run 45 to 60 minutes, once or twice a week.

Can siblings learn together?

Our classes are 1-on-1 so that each child learns at their own level. Siblings can book back-to-back slots with the same tutor.

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!

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.
