🇦🇱Albania, Kosovo

Learn Albanian with real humans

Albanian is a language spoken by native communities worldwide. Albanian (Shqip) is one of the most isolated Indo-European languages, belonging to no other branch of the family and forming a unique branch all on its own. Spoken by around 7.5 million people in Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Greece and by an active diaspora in Italy and France, Albanian is the key to a millennial Balkan culture. Albania has become one of Europe's trendiest travel destinations, with pristine Adriatic coastlines, old Ottoman towns and exceptional Mediterranean cuisine.

Did you know? Albanian survived centuries of invasions (Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman) without being absorbed, a remarkable feat for a language without a state for so long. Albanian hospitality is codified in 'Besa', a sacred promise to protect a guest, which is the moral foundation of traditional Albanian culture. Albanian iso-polyphony (southern chants with multiple simultaneous voices) is listed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage. The country celebrated its 110th anniversary of independence in 2022.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Albanian

Albanian is an Indo-European language but without close relatives, it resembles neither Greek, Slavic, nor Romance languages. This makes it moderately challenging: the vocabulary is very different from languages we already know, but the grammar, though complex (6 cases, 2 genders), is logical and regular. With 2 classes per week, a basic conversational level is achievable in 8 to 10 months.
Standard Albanian (based on the southern Tosk dialect) is the official Albanian taught in Albania, Kosovo and North Macedonia. Gheg (northern dialect) has notable phonological and lexical differences, and Albanian from Kosovo and Macedonia is close to Gheg. Both variants are mutually intelligible in everyday conversations. At Targumi, we teach standard Albanian while explaining regional nuances.
Albania is becoming one of the most sought-after destinations in Southeast Europe, the Albanian Riviera, Gjirokaster, Berat, and Shkoder are still relatively undiscovered. The country has applied for EU membership. The Albanian diaspora is active throughout Europe (Italy, Greece, Germany, France). For tourism professionals, investors in the Balkans, or simply to connect with this community, Albanian is an original and rewarding choice.
Yes, Albanian has used the Latin alphabet since the 19th century (36 letters, with some digraphs like dh, gj, nj, sh, xh, zh). Pronunciation is highly phonetic. No new alphabet to learn, you can focus directly on grammar and conversation. The sounds 'e' (a very short 'e') and 'q' (a palatalised 'k') are the main phonetic challenges for English speakers.
Absolutely. Albania, Kosovo and parts of North Macedonia form an Albanian-speaking economic zone in full development. Tourism, construction, renewable energy and agriculture sectors are attracting foreign investors. Speaking Albanian in this context is a major competitive advantage, very few foreigners make this effort, which makes it all the more noticed.

Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.

What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.

Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.

Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.

AntoineVerified purchase

The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.
