Most apps keep you tapping buttons. ZimanGo asks you to say words out loud and gives feedback on how you did.
About ZimanGo
Keeping Kurdish alive — and joyful to learn.
ZimanGo is a Kurdish language-learning app built by people who grew up loving this language, and who believe it deserves the same modern, joyful tools as any major language in the world.
Our mission
A modern home for the Kurdish language.
Kurdish is spoken by tens of millions of people across several dialects — yet for years it had almost none of the friendly, well-made learning tools that other languages take for granted.
We started ZimanGo to change that: to make learning Kurmancî and Soranî feel as natural, fun and rewarding as any top language app — and to help carry smaller dialects like Zazakî, Hewramî and Behdînî forward to the next generation.
- Joyful by design — short lessons, a friendly lion, and a sense of progress that keeps you coming back.
- Dialect-first — built from the ground up for the Kurdish language family, not bolted on as an afterthought.
- For everyone — free to start, in nine interface languages, on the phone you already carry.
How we teach
Learning that respects how languages really work.
ZimanGo blends bite-size practice with the four skills that actually build fluency — listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Little and often
Lessons are short on purpose. Five focused minutes a day beats an hour you'll never find — and the streak keeps you honest.
Real Kurdish, real culture
You learn the phrases people actually use, plus the proverbs, idioms and warmth that make Kurdish, Kurdish.
The Kurdish language family
The dialects we teach — and the ones we're building.
We're honest about where we are. Here's the full picture of the Kurdish dialects on ZimanGo's roadmap.

SoranîRolling out
Central Kurdish — widely spoken in Iraqi Kurdistan and Iran, written in an Arabic-based script.
ZazakîOn the roadmap
Spoken mainly in eastern Anatolia — a distinct and precious part of the family.
HewramîOn the roadmap
Also known as Gorani — a historic literary dialect we're committed to preserving.
