Not another course with "Uzbek" bolted on.
Most apps translate the same forty units into a new language and call it a course. Uzbekcha is made for Uzbek first, with a path of lessons for each reason for learning.
Four steps to your first lesson.
A few minutes from install to your first lesson.
Tell us who you are
Your first name, where you are from and your first language. The app is in English at launch.
Tell us why
Work, study, family, moving or travel. You get the path of lessons for that reason.
Set a daily goal
Five, ten or fifteen minutes. One short session a day keeps your streak, and a gentle reminder at the time you choose.
Subscribe and start
Choose a monthly or yearly plan and open your first lesson, with audio, practice and a first conversation in Uzbek.
One learner's first lesson, screen by screen.
Real screens from the app, made with a sample learner: from South Korea, an engineer at a car parts factory in Tashkent. Your lessons follow your own reason for learning.
Everything a real learner needs, nothing a course vendor needs.
Audio on every word
Every word, sentence and dialogue has spoken audio, made with an AI voice. Slow it down while you're new, and switch to natural speed when you're not.
Suhbat, AI conversation
After each lesson, talk it through out loud with someone from it: the taxi driver, a new colleague, the stallholder. The AI answers, corrects gently, and never runs out of patience.
Root + suffix breakdown
kitoblarimizda = kitob + lar + imiz + da, "in our books". See the pieces and the pattern clicks.
Spaced repetition
Words come back at growing intervals, and the ones you got wrong come back sooner.
Streaks and daily goals
Five, ten or fifteen minutes a day. Streaks, streak freezes and badges keep it a habit instead of a project you'll get back to.
Latin script, done right
The 29-letter alphabet, the oʻ and gʻ letters, and the tutuq belgisi: explained once, used correctly everywhere.
Questions people ask before they start.
Straight answers about the language, the script, and the app.
Is Uzbek hard to learn?
It depends on where you start. Uzbek is agglutinative: meaning is built by adding suffixes to a root, and the verb goes last. Turkish speakers already know that system. Korean, Japanese and Hindi speakers know the word order. English, Russian and Chinese speakers need to build the suffix habit, which is exactly what Uzbekcha drills. There are no grammatical genders, no articles, and spelling in the Latin script is fully phonetic.
Which languages can I learn Uzbek from?
At launch, the app and its lessons are in English, and explanations compare Uzbek with English. Lessons in Russian, Chinese (Simplified), Turkish, Hindi and Korean are planned, then Arabic, German and French. Each one will get its own explanations, not a translation of the English lessons.
Latin or Cyrillic?
Latin. It is the official script of Uzbekistan and has been mandatory in state institutions since 2023. You will still see Cyrillic on older signs and documents; our alphabet guide explains why Latin is the one to learn.
Do I need to know any Uzbek to start?
No. Everyone starts from the first lesson, and the first lesson starts at zero. If you already speak some Uzbek, the early lessons go quickly.
Is this for tourists or for professionals?
Both, but not with the same lessons. When you start, you tell Uzbekcha why you are learning (work, study, family, moving or travel) and you get the path of lessons for that reason. All of them are at beginner level (A1) for now.
Is it out, and what does it cost?
Uzbekcha is on Android now, through Google Play, and coming soon to iPhone. The iPhone waitlist hears first and gets a launch offer. It is a paid subscription with monthly and yearly plans and no free trial. See the prices.
Who is behind Uzbekcha?
UzVIP, an app studio in Tashkent. Uzbekcha is built AI-first.
Uzbekcha is on Android. iPhone is next.
On iPhone? One email when it's ready and a founding-member offer for the waitlist. No newsletter, no drip campaign. Rahmat for being early.
