Please visit Appa Balwant Chowk (A B Chowk) and request shop owners to show new books CDs to learn Marathi.

Find a Marathi friend who would spend some time with you, talking and explaining in Marathi. Supervised application of words/phrases in practical use, will speed up learning process. E.g. visit a hotel or store with Marathi-speaking friend (supervisor), and try to communicate with attendants/servers in Marathi. I have been doing this and willing to assist.
