Is Azerbaijani on Duolingo? What to Use Instead in 2026

Quick answer

No. Azerbaijani was missing when we looked through Duolingo's course list on October 14, 2026. For lessons in order, try Mango or Ling; for listening and repeating, try Glossika or Bluebird; for word games, try uTalk; and for lessons written around you, try Bubblegum.

You won't find Azerbaijani on Duolingo. Azerbaijani was nowhere on the course list Duolingo showed on October 14, 2026.

Azerbaijani still has apps with short lessons, games, and audio. Here they're sorted into a course you follow, listening practice, and word games. Free books, tutors, and exchange partners all appear in our best apps to learn Azerbaijani.

Custom Lessons Made for You

Bubblegum

For serious learners, Bubblegum is the best app to learn Azerbaijani. You learn from Azerbaijani you can mostly understand, which is called comprehensible input.

Poppy is your AI tutor, and she writes your Azerbaijani lessons in Bubblegum. When you're off to a wedding in Baku, she can write the toasts and small talk you'd hear at the table, and you can ask her what each part means.

Bubblegum doesn't have people for you to talk with. For speaking practice, see the tutors in our full Azerbaijani comparison.
