Learn Kazakh with real humans

Kazakh is the Turkic language of Kazakhstan, the 9th largest country in the world by area and a rising economic power thanks to its vast oil, gas and mineral reserves. Spoken by around 13 million people, Kazakh has been going through a remarkable renaissance since independence in 1991, the country is currently transitioning from the Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet (scheduled for completion in 2031). Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana), the futuristic capital, embodies this modern spirit at the crossroads of nomadic steppes and the 21st century.

Did you know? The Kazakh steppe is one of the largest grasslands on Earth, the cradle of nomadic horseback civilisation. The horse is central to Kazakh culture: kumis (fermented mare's milk) is the national drink, horse meat is a prestigious dish, and buzkashi (a polo-like game played with a goat carcass) is a sport that captures the essence of Kazakh identity. Astana has some of the most extravagant architecture in the world, designed by Norman Foster and other starchitects, including a glass pyramid, a presidential palace shaped like a yurt, and a building nicknamed 'the juicer'. Kazakhstan is also the homeland made famous by Borat, though the real country is infinitely more sophisticated.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Kazakh

Kazakh is a Turkic language, it shares with Turkish, Kyrgyz, Uzbek and Azerbaijani an agglutinative grammar and a partially common vocabulary. A Turkish speaker understands around 50-60% of basic Kazakh. With Russian (which is not related but remains co-official in Kazakhstan), Kazakh mostly shares borrowed vocabulary. If you already speak Turkish or Uzbek, learning Kazakh is significantly faster.
Kazakhstan still officially uses Cyrillic but is transitioning to the Latin alphabet (target completion: 2031). In practice, learners should learn both: Cyrillic to read current materials (books, signs, official documents), and familiarise themselves with the Latin script for future communications. Our courses cover both writing systems. Kazakh phonetics in Latin script are very regular.
Kazakhstan is the largest economy in Central Asia, with a GDP of USD 220 billion, driven by Caspian Sea oil (15th largest global reserves), natural gas and uranium (Kazakhstan is the world's leading uranium producer). Nur-Sultan attracts massive investment in infrastructure, tech and agriculture. Speaking Kazakh gives you access to local business networks that are often impenetrable to English speakers alone.
The Kazakh diaspora in France and other Western European countries is small (a few thousand people) but active, especially in academic and diplomatic circles. Most of the demand for learning Kazakh, however, comes from professionals in the oil, mining, agricultural and international cooperation sectors who work with Kazakhstan. Some French high schools even teach Kazakh in regions with a notable Kazakh presence.
Kazakh is classified as a difficult language for Europeans, agglutinative grammar, vowel harmony, SOV word order, and a Cyrillic alphabet to master. For an English speaker, expect 12 to 15 months with two lessons per week to reach B1. If you already have a foundation in Turkish or Uzbek, 5 to 7 months are enough. Travellers focused on the Silk Road can acquire practical essentials in 2 to 3 months.

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.

DamienVerified purchase
S

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.

SorayaVerified purchase

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
E

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.
