What you learn
- 208 everyday English words, in 32 small groups of 6–8 words
- 441 English sentences with Marathi translations
- 40 short conversations: greetings, introducing yourself and your family, school, food, asking the way, at the doctor, shopping, phone calls and making plans
How the lessons work
- Each group has 6 short lessons of 6 questions: meaning, matching, listening, spelling and speaking practice, then sentences.
- New words come first, with their Marathi meaning, a listen button, and Bittu the monkey, who acts out words like "here", "under", "his" and "her".
- Mistakes come back until they are answered correctly, and a Study page reviews earlier words every day.
- Conversations are read aloud in a boy and a girl voice, so learners can listen and repeat.
