NEW LANGUAGE: FRISIAN

We’ve added Frisian (Frysk) — a West Germanic language spoken in the northern Netherlands, especially in the province of Friesland.

Frisian holds a special place in Europe’s linguistic landscape. It is officially recognized in the Netherlands — and it is the closest living language to English. In fact, some Frisian sentences look surprisingly familiar to English speakers.

Now on Qlango, you can explore a language with deep roots, strong regional identity, and a proud literary tradition.

At CEFR A1–A2, you’ll gain real-life communication skills from the very first lessons.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Say hello: Hoi

  • Introduce yourself: Ik hjit… (My name is…)

  • Buy groceries at a local shop

  • Order food and drinks

  • Speak about family and relationships

  • Describe people, appearance, and personality

  • Discuss work, school, and daily routines

  • Talk about animals and nature

  • Navigate travel situations

  • Express actions, feelings, and opinions

By the end of A2, you’ll be able to hold simple conversations and understand the rhythm of a language that feels both familiar and unique.
