Does Duolingo Have Slovenian? No. Where to Learn It

Does Duolingo offer anything close to Slovenian?

No. Slovenian is a South Slavic language, and its closest relatives, Croatian and Serbian, aren't on Duolingo either (see does Duolingo have Croatian). Duolingo's Slavic courses for English speakers are Czech, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian. They're relatives, with cases and verb pairs of their own, but they're too far from Slovenian to stand in for it, and none has a working dual, the grammatical number for exactly two. Babbel and Busuu don't offer Slovenian either (checked November 2026).

How to learn Slovenian with Qlango

Qlango is made in Slovenia, and it teaches Slovenian at all six CEFR levels, from A1 to C2. At A1 and A2 you introduce yourself, talk about daily life in simple sentences and get through everyday exchanges. At B1 and B2 you handle most situations, talk about your experiences and plans, and hold real conversations on familiar topics. C1 and C2 are for advanced learners: at C2 you understand fast, natural speech and complex discussions and express yourself precisely and fluently, including at work.

Each lesson gives you short Slovenian example sentences with the translation in the language you learn from. You answer them in several ways, such as flashcards, choosing one of two answers, matching pairs, putting scrambled words in order, writing what you hear and writing the translation yourself, which is where you decide between hiši and hiše on your own. An AI voice reads every example aloud, and you can slow it down, which helps with the vowels Slovenian spelling doesn't show. A finished lesson returns after one, two, four and eight days and then once more, and examples you needed a hint for come back in harder questions later.

You choose the language you learn from: English or your native language.

The dual: grammar for exactly two

Slovenian counts in three steps: one, two, and three or more. Exactly two of anything gets endings of its own, on nouns, adjectives, pronouns and verbs:

Midva is two men, or a man and a woman; two women say midve. The dual isn't a literary leftover. Two people heading out ask Kam greva? ("Where are we going?"), and as soon as a third joins them it becomes Kam gremo?

Counting adds one more rule: from five upwards the noun takes the genitive plural, so five houses are pet hiš.

Your first Slovenian words

Among friends, goodbye is adijo. Se vidiva, "see you", is a dual as well: said to one person, it means "we two will see each other", and to a group it becomes se vidimo. Our full guide to learning Slovenian covers the vowels spelling hides, the six cases and a plan for your first month.

FAQ

Is Slovenian on Duolingo?

No. As of November 2026, Duolingo has no Slovenian course from English or from any other language, so you can't learn Slovenian on Duolingo.

What is the best app to learn Slovenian?

It depends on what you need. If you want a course organised by CEFR level that runs all the way to the top, Qlango teaches Slovenian from A1 to C2. Duolingo, Babbel and Busuu don't offer Slovenian (checked November 2026).

Is there a free app to learn Slovenian?

Qlango is free to download on iPhone and Android, and you can start your first Slovenian lesson without creating an account. It also works in your browser.

How do I start learning Slovenian?

Learn the 25-letter alphabet, the vowel rules and the greetings in your first week. Then add the verb "to be" in all three numbers and everyday nouns with their gender. Twenty to thirty minutes a day for a month gives you a good start on A1.

Will Duolingo add Slovenian?

We can't say. Duolingo adds and removes courses over time, so check its catalogue if you're reading this much later.

Slovenian isn't the only gap. See every language Duolingo doesn't teach, or compare Qlango and Duolingo side by side. Your first Slovenian lesson takes about five minutes.
