Learn Circassian in just a few minutes a day, and become part of the Circassian community while you do it.
Learn Circassian is the home base for the Circassian diaspora: short daily lessons, the living traditions of Adyghe Xabze, and a real community of Circassians from around the world. It teaches both Adyghe (Western) and Kabardian (Eastern), with native-speaker audio and the full alphabet. Everything works in English, Russian, and Turkish, so you learn in the language you think in.
Lessons that actually stick
Over 4,000 words and phrases, with 50+ units in each dialect. Four lesson types keep every session fresh, and a spaced-repetition system brings each word back right before you would forget it. Learn a few at a time. Miss one and it returns. Get it right and it moves to long-term memory.
Real voices, real pronunciation
More than 4,000 native-speaker recordings. Hear a phrase, then build the sentence you just heard, word by word.
The whole alphabet
All 60 letters across 10 short lessons, each with its sound, transliteration, and an example word.
A community that speaks your language
Join the community chat or the dedicated Turkish room. Share messages, voice notes, photos, reactions, and replies, or message anyone privately, one on one.
Find Circassians everywhere
Discover fellow learners and speakers around the world, add friends, and keep a daily streak going together. Wherever the diaspora reaches, there is someone here.

I learned about Circassian from a friend and found this app because I was interested in learning more. It’s a very good way for the diaspora to connect with each other, and it’s the best, albeit only, resource on the people. I’m not Circassian myself, so I can’t tell you how well it teaches nor showcases the culture - I’d ask other people. However, one glaring flaw is that the language course is not that good. It doesn’t teach very effectively, as five minutes on it would tell you, and could probably teach grammar, sounds, and sentence structure much better. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to someone, but also advise that the language course, which is what I joined for, be heavily revised.

Thanks for the feedback. Did you try the audio course we just launched? I think it would be perfect for you.

It’s super interesting to learn about the Circassian culture. The language is incredibly difficult but the app makes it manageable. My favorite course is the Habze though! Please add more easy cartoons and movies in kabardian

Helpful if you have some adighabza background even though there’s some mistakes in spelling and pronunciation (the Eastern dialect). Didn’t try the west dialect yet.
