🇲🇳Mongolia, Inner Mongolia (China), Russia

Learn Mongolian with real humans

Mongolian is the language of a nation whose empire was the largest contiguous land empire in history, 24 million km² under Genghis Khan in the 13th century. Spoken by 5 to 6 million people in Mongolia and Inner Mongolia (China), Mongolian is written in Cyrillic in Mongolia and in the vertical classical Mongolian script in China. Mongolia, a country sandwiched between Russia and China, is rich in mineral resources and undergoing a major economic transformation. The steppe, the yurts, and the tradition of throat singing (khöömei) define a nomadic identity found nowhere else in the world.

Did you know? Mongolian khöömei (throat singing) is one of the most breathtaking musical traditions in the world, a single singer produces two distinct sounds simultaneously (a low note and a high melody) by modulating the resonances of their throat. This technique, inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list, is the sonic expression of the vast open spaces of the steppe. The Naadam, the annual festival of the 'three manly games' (wrestling, archery, horse racing), is Mongolia's most important national holiday, and a spectacle unlike any other in the world.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Mongolian

Almost, Mongolian Cyrillic has 35 letters (2 more than Russian Cyrillic: Өө and Үү for specific Mongolian vowels). If you know Russian Cyrillic, you can read Mongolian in 1 to 2 weeks. But note: in China (Inner Mongolia), the vertical classical Mongolian script is used, a completely different system. Our courses in Mongolia focus on Cyrillic.
Mongolia is one of the richest countries per capita in mineral resources, coal, copper, gold, uranium, rare earths. The country attracts massive investment from China, Russia, Canada, and South Korea into its mines. Ulaanbaatar is a rapidly transforming city. Speaking Mongolian in this context is a rare advantage, very few foreigners make the effort, which makes building trust possible.
Inner Mongolia is an autonomous province of China with 4 to 5 million Mongols (out of 24 million total inhabitants). The Mongolian language is still taught there, but Mandarin is dominant. The Inner Mongolian dialect has phonetic and lexical differences from Khalkha (the standard Mongolian of Ulaanbaatar). The vertical classical Mongolian script is more widely used there than in Mongolia, where Cyrillic predominates.
Deeply, khöömei and sung epics (tuuli) are transmitted in Mongolian, and their texts reflect the cosmology and history of the steppe. Understanding Mongolian allows you to grasp the lyrics of traditional songs, the invocations of shamans (böö), and the poetic formulas of epic storytellers. The Mongolian language is musically rich, with a natural prosody that lends itself to song. Our teachers can integrate traditional singing into lessons upon request.
Mongolian is classified as a very difficult language for Europeans, Cyrillic alphabet to learn, agglutinative grammar with vowel harmony, SOV structure, and no kinship to European languages. For a French or English speaker, expect 14 to 18 months with 2 classes per week to reach B1. But for the essential phrases of daily life in Mongolia and expressions from the nomadic culture, 3 to 4 months of intensive study is enough to create an authentic connection.

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.
