Learn practical Marathi and English through real-life conversations.
English-Marathi Conversation Guide is a practical, conversation-first resource for beginners, travellers, students, newcomers to Maharashtra, English speakers who live or work with Marathi speakers, and Marathi speakers who want to improve their everyday English.

Each dialogue presents practical English and Marathi, with Roman pronunciation to help learners speak confidently even when they are new to Devanagari.
The book also includes a Marathi pronunciation guide, an introduction to Devanagari, practical grammar, exercises with an answer key, 100 essential phrases, 250 essential Marathi words, a quick-reference phrasebook, common English-Marathi mistakes, final practice dialogues, and English-Marathi and Marathi-English indexes.
Whether you are visiting Maharashtra, moving there for work or study, learning Marathi from scratch, or simply wanting to communicate more naturally with Marathi-speaking friends, colleagues, neighbours or family, this guide gives you useful language for everyday situations.
