Galician isn't on Duolingo. Duolingo's own course list, read on October 14, 2026, offered nothing in Galician.
Galician has word games, sentence practice, and an AI chat partner. This page sorts them by what you'll do in each. For tutors, exchange partners, and free courses from Galicia, see our best apps to learn Galician.
Custom Lessons Made for You
Bubblegum
For serious learners, Bubblegum is the best app to learn Galician. You learn from Galician you can mostly understand, which is called comprehensible input.
Poppy, your AI tutor in Bubblegum, writes Galician lessons for you. If you're walking the Camino to Santiago, she can write a chat with the host at a pilgrims' hostel, and you can listen while you read along.
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 talk with. The tutors and the free courses in our full Galician comparison fill those gaps.
- Poppy builds every Galician lesson around your level and topics.
- Galician news and stories arrive with audio.
- Poppy answers your questions about any line.
- Regenerative Review™ carries your saved Galician words into upcoming lessons.
- Clear, expressive AI voices read every lesson aloud, with a different voice for each speaker.
- There's no way to add your own books or articles.
- A new custom lesson costs us real money to make, so your first one is free, and Bubblegum Pro gives you unlimited custom lessons. The lesson library is free for everyone, because we believe everyone should be able to learn.

Common Questions
Which Galician app should a beginner choose?
If you are serious about learning Galician, start with Bubblegum. Poppy writes lessons at your level about things you like. Or start with Drops if you want quick picture games, or uTalk if you'd like to hear and repeat each word. Galician uses the Latin alphabet, so you can read it from day one.
Does Galicia have its own online Galician course?
Yes. The Portal da Lingua Galega, run by Galicia's government, has an online introductory course in Galician language and culture. It has five units, and it's made for people who know a little or are starting from zero.
Is Bubblegum free?
Yes. The lesson library is free for everyone, because we believe everyone should be able to learn. It holds lessons that other learners asked Poppy for. A new custom lesson costs us real money to make, so your first one is free, and Bubblegum Pro gives you unlimited custom lessons.
