Learn Latvian with real humans

Latvian is one of the two living Baltic languages, alongside Lithuanian, a distinct Indo-European family considered by linguists to be one of the most archaic in Europe. Spoken by 1.5 million people in Latvia and by a diaspora of around 500,000 across the EU, Latvian is the official language of a country that is a member of the European Union, NATO and the eurozone, with Riga as the cultural capital of the Baltics.

Did you know? Latvian is one of the Indo-European languages that has preserved the most features of Proto-Indo-European, linguists study it to better understand Europe's ancestral languages. Riga is the largest city in the three Baltic states, and its Art Nouveau historic centre is one of the most beautiful in Europe, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The most important national celebration is Jāņi (Midsummer), celebrated with songs, bonfires and flower crowns: it is the shortest night of the year and the warmest, most convivial festival in the Latvian calendar. Latvian also has four pitch accents that can change the meaning of words.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Latvian

No, not directly. Although both are Baltic languages, they have diverged for about 1,500 years. They share roughly 80% of their root vocabulary, but the phonology and grammar differ enough to make mutual understanding difficult without study. It is a bit like the relationship between Latin and Greek, Indo-European cousins, but not mutually intelligible.
Latvian is spoken by only 1.5 million people worldwide. Mastering it is an extremely rare skill outside the Baltic states. In diplomacy, NGOs, companies operating in the Baltics, or journalism covering the region, speaking Latvian is an almost unique competitive advantage. It also demonstrates a strong cultural commitment that Latvians deeply appreciate.
The 7 grammatical cases, the pitch accents, and the complex declensions of nouns and adjectives. The good news: the Latvian alphabet is Latin-based (with a few diacritics such as ā, ē, ī, ū for long vowels), and pronunciation is regular. Our lessons start with the most frequent structures so that you can communicate from the very first weeks.
Riga is one of the most affordable capitals in the EU, with a cost of living far below Paris or Berlin. Latvia has been a member of the eurozone since 2014 and of NATO since 2004. The start-up ecosystem is growing, particularly in fintech, cybersecurity and logistics. For European entrepreneurs, Riga offers a highly favourable environment.
For an English or French speaker, expect 10 to 14 months with two lessons per week to reach B1. Latvian is rated Category 3 by the FSI. The alphabet and pronunciation can be learned in 2 to 3 weeks. The grammatical cases require regular practice, but our teachers introduce them through real-world context rather than abstract tables.

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.
