Uzbek isn't taught on Duolingo. We looked at every course on Duolingo's own list on October 14, 2026, and none of them is an Uzbek course.
Uzbek can still be learned in short sessions on your phone. The apps below are grouped as a course in order, sentence listening, and word games. Free materials, tutors, and language partners are rounded up in our best apps to learn Uzbek.
Custom Lessons Made for You
Bubblegum
For serious learners, Bubblegum is the best app to learn Uzbek. You learn from Uzbek you can mostly understand, which is called comprehensible input.
Bubblegum pairs you with Poppy, your AI tutor, who drafts each Uzbek lesson. If you're traveling the Silk Road to Samarkand, she can write a chat with a seller at the bazaar, and you can tap any word to see what it means.
Bubblegum doesn't put you in a call with a person. Book a tutor through our full Uzbek comparison.
- An Uzbek Alphabet course teaches the Latin letters, like oʻ and gʻ.
- Poppy fits each Uzbek lesson to your level and favorite topics.
- News and stories in Uzbek give you more practice.
- Uzbek words you save come back while you read later 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 Uzbek app should a beginner choose?
If you are serious about learning Uzbek, start with Bubblegum. Poppy writes lessons at your level about things you like. Or choose Mango for conversations in order, or uTalk for short word games. Learn the letters oʻ and gʻ early, since you'll see them everywhere.
Is Uzbek written in Latin or Cyrillic letters?
Both. Uzbekistan began moving from Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet in 1993, and schools now teach Latin. The Times of Central Asia reports that both scripts are still widely used, so it helps to read each one.
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.
