Macedonian isn't one of Duolingo's languages. Duolingo's own course list had no Macedonian when we read it on October 14, 2026.
Macedonian is written in Cyrillic, and a few apps teach both the letters and the language in short lessons. This page groups them as a course in order, word games, and audio. Tutors, exchange partners, and reading apps are in our best apps to learn Macedonian.
Custom Lessons Made for You
Bubblegum
For serious learners, Bubblegum is the best app to learn Macedonian. You learn from Macedonian you can mostly understand, which is called comprehensible input.
Once the letters feel easy, Poppy, your AI tutor in Bubblegum, writes Macedonian lessons for you. For a summer at Lake Ohrid, she can write a chat at a lakeside café, and you can tap any word to see what it means.
Bubblegum doesn't give you someone to talk to. For speaking with a person, see the tutors in our full Macedonian comparison.
- A Macedonian Cyrillic course walks you through all 31 letters.
- Poppy writes Macedonian lessons at your level, about whatever you choose.
- Macedonian news and stories add more to read.
- Macedonian words you save return in new lessons via Regenerative Review™.
- 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.
