Learn to type in Marathi

No. Printed Devanagari keycaps are sold and they are not worth it for a touch typist: you are trying to learn a map, and a visible map delays that. Select the Devanagari InScript layout in your system settings and use the on-screen guide below instead, which you can turn off once it stops helping.

No. The material here is typing practice rather than a language course — you can work through it without understanding a word, and plenty of people do exactly that when they need to type a script for work. If you do speak Marathi, you will simply predict what is coming sooner, and prediction is most of what typing speed is.

No, and this is the one piece of advice worth being stubborn about. A glance down is not just a pause — it rehearses the habit of reading the keys instead of remembering them, which is precisely the habit the course exists to replace. Covering your hands for the first fortnight is unpleasant and works.

Briefly and often. What you are building is recall, and recall decays between sessions, so ten minutes on most days will take you considerably further than an hour once a week. Stop while it is still going well — practising past the point of fatigue rehearses sloppy motion.

Devanagari InScript, with 31 characters mapped across the standard key positions. The 47 practice words between them use 39 distinct characters. The keyboard guide below the typing area shows the physical key and the character it produces together, so you are never reading a layout diagram in one window while typing in another.

Sequences of the keys each stage has introduced — single letters first, then pairs, then short chunks — in Devanagari as the Devanagari InScript layout produces it, rather than transliterated into Latin letters. The point of the course is the position of a key rather than the vocabulary. The 47 common Marathi words in the practice bank are what the speed test samples and what the games pull from, once the positions stop needing thought.

Harder than a one-key-one-letter language, and for a specific reason rather than a vague one: marks combine, so a written unit takes several presses in a fixed order. The bank here averages 2.1 units per word with a fairly compact inventory of 39 characters across the practice bank. The keystroke count is higher than the visible length suggests, which is what makes early progress feel slower than it is.

No account, no payment, no trial. Progress is stored in this browser, which is enough until you want it on a second device or on a leaderboard — that is the only thing an account buys, and it is optional.
