Pronunciation focus for Marathi speakers
Marathi speakers often merge /v/ and /w/, use a single vowel for 'cat' and 'bet' (/æ/ and /e/), and keep English word stress fairly even. The /z/ and 'j' sounds can also be confused.
The Teaching Phonetics and Live Phonetics courses show you how to work on these features with your learners, and with your own pronunciation. See also what mother tongue influence is.
