A suggested order, never a locked level
Start with vowels, learn one consonant group, then combine the letters and read your first words. Choose any of the 14 lessons, replay a sound, or jump into a quiz whenever you like. No account is needed; Marathi lesson progress stays in your browser, separately from the other courses.
English spellings are pronunciation aids, not translations or a perfect transcription. Listen alongside the letters, then try covering the English to practise reading the script itself.
