Top 5 YouTube Channels to Master Marathi

Top 5 YouTube Channels to Master Marathi

Marathi is one of the most widely spoken languages of the Indian subcontinent. It is the language of Maharashtra, home to India's commercial capital and one of the most highly industrialised regions of India. Visitors to the state or those looking to do business in the region can benefit from knowing the language – if not attain fluency, at least grasp the basics of conversational Marathi. Non-native students of the language can also gain hugely from Marathi tutoring, particularly if this is a compulsory subject in school.

One has the option of learning Marathi via a physical classroom, or by taking one-on-one lessons from a private online Marathi tutor from virtually anywhere in the world. Learners can also check out Marathi-learning YouTube channels to start things off. For Indians who speak languages such as Hindi and Guajarati, learning Marathi can be a lot simpler since there are many words and usages in common between these languages. Plus, the Marathi script is the same as Hindi, i.e. the Devanagari script. Hence a lot of Indian origin people get a head start when learning Marathi if they are already familiar with Indian languages spoken in north and west India.

Learning basic conversational Marathi

There are numerous free online resources for learning Marathi, such as this YouTube video from a YouTube Channel called Learn 50 Languages. The channel offers to teach Dutch from scratch, languages such as Serbian and other European languages as well as Marathi, Punjabi and so on. There are also various languages of instruction other than English that are available on this language learning channel.

The above video helps the English speaker become familiar with basic Marathi words, phrases and simple sentences – the sort one would use to speak with, say hotel staff or others one would meet locally when on a visit to Maharashtra. While many may find the video highly useful for learning the basics of spoken Marathi, going through a 6+ hour video may not be everyone’s cup of tea.

If so, one can choose to follow any of several Marathi learning YouTube channels, depending upon what the learner’s aim is.  For instance, there are Marathi learning channels for the school student who wants help with their Marathi syllabus: to help with their homework and exams. Then there could be other options for those who want to learn conversational Marathi to help navigate conversations with colleagues, neighbours and so on. Informal and formal Marathi also need to be differentiated – for instance the type of Marathi used in court and legal documents will be very different from the informal usage required when buying groceries or when conversing with one’s domestic staff.
