Description

This course is suitable for everyone who is planning a trip to wonderful Kyrgyzstan. And it doesn't matter if you have business travel, visiting friends or traveling around the world, or you might be just a polyglot and want to learn Kyrgyz language. In this course, I will teach you the most practical knowledge that will really help you communicate with people during your entire stay in Kyrgyzstan all by yourself. I have prepared for you a handbook with phrases, expressions and single words that you can use to explain your thoughts and ask questions. And for this you do not need to memorise a lot of theory, learn the alphabet and spelling rules in the Kyrgyz language.

Of course, in order to translate individual words or phrases, you can use online translators (there is a wide range of translators), but unfortunately, the Kyrgyz language is not so widespread, therefore, it is much more difficult to find a high-quality translation that is suitable in meaning than with other languages.

The course includes videos with ready-made phrases in Kyrgyz for all situations, a vocabulary with the most necessary words, a phrasebook with transcription in Latin letters for correct pronunciation and short quizzes so that you can easily learn all words and phrases.

This course is based on the experience of my foreign friends from different countries who visited Kyrgyzstan.
