Maata
मराठी
Marathi for kids, in your family’s voice
For families from Maharashtra raising children who will grow up speaking another language at school. Maata teaches the Marathi your family uses at home — and your child hears it from you, their grandparents and the people they love.

Little talks in Marathi
Short two-person conversations. Your child listens first, then says their part while a family voice answers.

- What's your name? — Aajoba's friend meets you.
- At the table — Aai is serving dinner.
- Let's play — Dada wants to play.
- What happened? — You fell down. Baba runs over.
- Bedtime — It's late, and Aai says it's time for bed.
- Can I help? — Baba is carrying the shopping in.
- School morning — Aai wakes you up for school.
In your family’s voice
- Record any word once — your child hears you in every lesson.
- Grandparents abroad install Maata free, record, and send their voice by WhatsApp.
- Add your family’s own words: pet names, family dishes, the things grandma always says.
We wrote these words carefully for everyday family talk, and native-speaking parents are checking them now. If your family says something differently, tap the word to fix it and record it your way.
