Edualb - Learn Albanian

A lot of people's main gripe with this app is that it teaches you a lot of vocabulary without teaching much grammar, so while you'll know a lot of words, you won't really know how to use them properly. That being said, it is a great supplemental tool IF you already know/are learning grammar congruently. It's very helpful for more rigorous practice, so if you're in a crunch to simply get your comprehension and speaking skills up, give this a shot. The speaker's voice can be a little difficult for new learners, and the app is mostly using the Northern (Gheg) dialect, which is fine since it's mostly lexical variations, and the words in Tosk/Standard are more or less mutually intelligible save for a few standouts e.g 'Mjek' = 'doctor' in Tosk, 'Doktor' = 'doctor' in Gheg. Overall not a bad app, especially if you're already at an A1-A2 proficiency and need to brush up on vocab.

I like the app, no issues using it. I wish there was some sort of introduction to the language instead of assuming you know words in lesion 1. Also it would be great to able to hear the audio on your phone without using headphones.

It starts off giving you a test before it teaches you anything. It’s pretty laughable. Perhaps they updated it and got rid of everything useful by accident.

Great application to easily learn the Albanian language!

Full of lots of errors constantly saying you got it wrong when its right

Good app, kind of like Duolingo so all good. As others have said, you cannot be a total newb to Albanian if you want to use this app. My main concern is that standard Albanian spelling/pronunciation. Every city in Albania has their own dialect of course so by picking one you are omitting the rest. I found a lot of spelling problems too which for a new learner they will confuse them.

This app is suitable for those with a little knowledge of the Albanian language but too advance for those who are complete beginners. It jumps right into words and phrases without teaching you anything like other language apps do.

The gamified interface would be effective if I weren’t merely guessing answers at random. There is no instruction before beginning each lesson, so unless you already have a basic grasp of Albanian, you’re not going to learn anything from this app. On the listening questions, it never tells you what sentence you just managed to construct. There are almost no translations or even pictures to help you learn the meaning of the words you’re trying to memorize. Particularly in a language which is so unique, basic explanations of grammar and pronunciation would be useful, as would a vocabulary list for each lesson so that we know what we’re repeating back. The good news is that this UI works well, so there’s a decent app skeleton here if the developer were to add some basic language instruction to it.

I’m half Albanian and this has really helped me learn and communicate with my family. I really recommend it if you want to speak the language!

Half my family is Albanian and every time they want to hide something they speak Albanian. So that’s why I want to learn😂. This app is great it helps me learn quickly and my mom was very impressed when she saw me take the quizzes one by one. If you want to learn Albanian download this app you won’t regret it.👍🏼🤩😜
