Many of the learners of my tutorials are learning Marathi for competitive exams like bank, post, civil services, etc. Recently Language Proficiency tests were conducted & many of the learners passed the exam well. I asked them to give more details so that others will get benefited from it.

Sbarna has shared her experience below.

Please find the details of my LPT :

We were given 3 topics to write a “Nibandh”(essay):(minimum 5 lines on any one topic)
1) Favourite festival
2) Favorite teacher
3) My family
I wrote 10 lines on my family.

Secondly, I was made to read a paragraph from a poem and asked to explain a line
