Is Belarusian on Duolingo? What to Use Instead in 2026

Quick answer

No. Belarusian wasn't taught by any course in Duolingo's list on October 14, 2026. For word games, try MOVA, uTalk, or Clozemaster; for whole sentences you hear, try Glossika; for phrase lessons in order, try 50LANGUAGES; and for lessons written at your level, try Bubblegum.

Belarusian isn't on Duolingo. We went through Duolingo's own course list on October 14, 2026, and Belarusian had no course there.

A few apps teach Belarusian, and each one does a different job. Here they're grouped as word games, sentence audio, and a phrase course. For reading apps, tutors, and free guides, see our best apps to learn Belarusian.

Custom Lessons Made for You

Bubblegum

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

In Bubblegum, Poppy, your AI tutor, writes Belarusian lessons about what you want to say. If you'd like to write to a friend in Minsk, she can write a short exchange of messages about your weekend, and you can ask her about any word.

Poppy builds a flexible journey around your interests and level, so you can focus on what's most useful to you. Bubblegum isn't a person to practice speaking with. Speaking practice with people is covered in our full Belarusian comparison.
