Is Bosnian on Duolingo?

If you have searched for a Duolingo Bosnian course, you are not alone. There is even a public petition asking Duolingo to add it. Bosnian has millions of speakers and a large diaspora in the US and Europe, but it is not one of the languages the big apps have chosen to build.

Why Duolingo does not have Bosnian

Duolingo used to add smaller languages through volunteer course builders, and that program has ended. New courses now come from Duolingo's own team, which focuses on the most-learned languages. Some websites claim Duolingo has a Bosnian course. It does not.

What to use instead

Bosanski is the app built only for Bosnian. It works like the apps you know: short daily lessons, streaks, games and reviews. It adds what Bosnian learners actually need:

• Real Bosnian, the way it is spoken at home: ijekavica (gdje, lijepo, mlijeko) and home words like kahva.
• Speaking practice with Nana: say words and sentences out loud and find out whether she would understand you.
• A kids mode for children who cannot read yet: pictures, Nana's voice and games.
• Courses from Bosnian schools and teachers, inside the same app.
