You say words and sentences out loud, and ZimanGo's own Kurdish speech recognition shows you what to fix.
About ZimanGo
Keeping Kurdish alive, and joyful to learn.
ZimanGo is a free app to learn Kurdish, built by people who grew up loving this language and believe it deserves tools as joyful as any other.
Our mission
a modern home for the Kurdish language.
Tens of millions of people speak Kurdish across Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria and the diaspora. Yet for years it had few of the friendly learning tools other languages take for granted.
We started ZimanGo to change that: learning Kurdish should feel as natural and rewarding as any top language app. Heritage speakers find a way back to the language of their grandparents; partners, friends and travellers find a way in.
- Joyful by design: short lessons, a friendly lion and progress you can feel.
- Dialect-first: built from the ground up for the Kurdish language family.
- For everyone: free to start, on the phone you already carry, learning from the language you already speak.
How we teach
learning that respects how languages really work.
Bite-size practice across the four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Little and often
150 short lessons in 30 topics unlock along a learning road from A1 to C2. A few focused minutes a day beats an hour you'll never find.
Real Kurdish, real culture
The phrases people actually use, plus the proverbs and idioms that make Kurdish, Kurdish.
The Kurdish language family
the dialects we teach, and the ones we're building.
We would rather say what is ready than promise what isn't. All dialects share one app, one account and one learning road.
