The platform

Progress in Macedonian between classes, at your own pace

  • Native audio on every word, with a slow-down button
  • Your progress is kept, on phone and on computer alike
Audio

You hear the language as it is actually spoken

  • Every sentence can be played and slowed down
  • The transcription and translation sit under the audio
  • You replay it as many times as you need, with no limit
Quizzes

Every module ends with a quiz, not with a ticked box

You are corrected on the spot, with the explanation. A failed quiz can be retaken, with no penalty and no record.

  • Immediate correction, with the right answer explained
  • An end-of-level test opens the next level
  • A level certificate at the end of the course

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Macedonian

Yes, this is the defining feature of Macedonian among the Slavic languages. Russian has 6 cases, Polish 7, Serbian/Croatian 7… Macedonian has none (except for vestiges in a few fixed expressions). The grammatical function of words is indicated by sentence word order and prepositions, a structure that feels closer to Romance languages than to Slavic ones. This is one of the reasons Macedonian is often considered the most accessible Slavic language for Western European speakers.
This is a politically sensitive question. Linguistically, Macedonian and Bulgarian are very close, mutual intelligibility is 70-80%. Bulgaria has long disputed Macedonian's status as a distinct language, considering it a Bulgarian dialect. Since the end of the Yugoslav era, Macedonian has been internationally recognized as a language in its own right. For learners, this closeness means that learning Macedonian provides a strong foundation for Bulgarian and vice versa.
North Macedonia is an EU candidate with a growing economy in textiles, tourism, and agriculture. The Macedonian diaspora is active in Germany, Switzerland, and Australia. For investors in the Balkans, Macedonian opens access to a low-competition market. And culturally, Ohrid with its 365 churches and monasteries is one of Europe's most underrated destinations.
Macedonian Cyrillic is very similar to Serbian Cyrillic (31 letters) but differs from Russian Cyrillic (33 letters) in a few specific characters. Macedonian has the letters 'ѓ', 'ѕ', 'ј', 'љ', 'њ', 'ќ', and 'џ' that Russian does not. If you already know Russian Cyrillic, you can read Macedonian after 2 to 3 weeks of adjustment. For a complete beginner, learning Cyrillic takes 3 to 4 weeks.
With no grammatical cases and a Slavic vocabulary base, Macedonian is one of the most accessible Slavic languages for Western Europeans. For an English or French speaker, expect 8 to 12 months of regular classes to reach B1. If you already have a foundation in Serbian, Bulgarian, or Russian, 4 to 6 months is enough. The Cyrillic alphabet can be learned in 3 to 4 weeks and immediately unlocks the ability to read Macedonian signs and menus.

“Macedonian is rare to find, glad there are native speakers. The Cyrillic writing module needs work — feels a bit rushed.”

Tobias R.Verified purchase
C

“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.”

CamilleVerified purchase
D

“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
A

“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.”
