Kurdish Learning App — Learn Kurmanji on iOS, Android & Web
Learn Kurdi is a Kurdish learning app and web software built for Kurmanji. It gives you interactive lessons, native-speaker audio on every word, games, and cultural stories — on your phone or right in your browser.
What the app does
At its core, Learn Kurdi is Kurdish learning software that runs in your browser and as a mobile app. Instead of a static phrasebook, it teaches Kurmanji as a structured course: you move through lessons, hear every word pronounced by a native speaker, lock it in with games, and track your streak. Because it's cloud-synced software, your progress follows you from laptop to phone.
