Immerse yourself in the local culture by learning a few basic Konkani phrases. 'Sundor raath' means 'Good night' and 'Tuka kashi aahe?' is a polite way to ask 'How are you?' for starters. For more advanced learners, 'Maka thumaka khobor?' means 'What's new?' and is a warm way to greet locals. You can find helpful resources and language courses at the local community centres or connect with a local language tutor to enhance your language skills.
