Uzbek has more learning tools than most people find on a first search. This is every option we could verify on 17 September 2026, grouped by what kind of tool it is. We did not install or test any of them. Each description is the product’s own, in our words.
We make Uzbekcha, which is not available yet. It is mentioned once, at the end. Check each product’s current listing before you decide.
Key points
- The large apps people try first (Duolingo, Babbel, Busuu and others) did not offer Uzbek on 17 September 2026.
- The tools that do exist are different in kind, so choose by the job, not by a ranking.
- Few listings say which script they teach. Where we could verify it, we say so.
Phrase and vocabulary apps
uTalk. Over 2,500 Uzbek words and phrases by topic, practised through games, with audio recorded by native speakers from Uzbekistan. uTalk is clear about its scope: its Uzbek page says the lessons “put speaking first, not grammar tables.” It can be learned from many base languages. The publisher also lists an older separate app, Learn Uzbek - EuroTalk, covering nine beginner topics.
Learn Uzbek Beginner! (Ali Umer). The listing claims more than 8,000 words and phrases in 200+ topics and 23 chapters, with six quiz modes, flashcards, offline use and native-speaker pronunciation, starting from the alphabet and grammar.
Learn Uzbek: For Beginners (same developer). Word and phrase lessons organised in classes such as alphabet, greetings, numbers, travel and shopping, usable offline. Its listing notes that only the first nine lessons of chapter 1 are free. The source of the audio is not stated.
Learn Uzbek (Beginners) by BNR Languages. An offline beginner course covering the alphabet and vocabulary with images, with a review mode. Its listing says you “practice reading, writing, and listening with native audio recordings.” It lists more than 40 interface languages.
Courses
Ling. An Uzbek course with native audio, games, flashcards and a dialogue feature. Its page says: “Lessons written and reviewed by native speakers.” Script, grammar explanation and level are not stated for Uzbek. More in Ling for Uzbek.
Mango Languages. Uzbek is on Mango’s official available-languages list. Mango describes its courses in general as conversational lessons with native-speaker recordings. Nothing specific to the Uzbek course could be verified. More in Mango Languages for Uzbek.
Transparent Language Online. Its language list has two Uzbek entries, one Cyrillic and one Latin. Transparent sells mainly to libraries, schools and government, and says that “Languages vary by organization.” We did not verify how an individual gets access.
IZI. A course for Russian speakers; the listing is in Russian. It describes grammar taught through visual rules, a drill trainer, listening dialogues, phonetics work and an online chat with a teacher.
Sentence and listening trainers
Glossika. Sentence-by-sentence training with native-speaker audio, a placement test and a range of levels its page states as A1 to C1. Its page is headed “Acquire Uzbek, Sentence by Sentence”, and the sample sentence is in Latin script. The Uzbek page belongs to the web product; we could not verify whether the newer App Store app includes Uzbek. More in Glossika for Uzbek.
Uzbek - Listening Speaking (Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hang). Video-based listening and speaking practice with dialogues and tap-a-word lookups, according to its listing.
AI chat
Talkpal. A general-purpose AI conversation app. Its App Store listing describes “GPT-based conversational AI for interactive, adaptive learning” and names Uzbek among 130+ languages. Its Uzbek page is general and states nothing about script, native-speaker audio or a structured Uzbek curriculum.
Tutors
italki and Preply each have an Uzbek tutors page with one-to-one lessons. Both listed only a handful of Uzbek tutors at the time of writing. Script, method and teaching language depend on the tutor. More in Uzbek tutors or an app.
Language exchange apps
HelloTalk has a page for finding Uzbek language partners, and Tandem includes Uzbek in its supported languages. Both are for chatting with native speakers. Neither has Uzbek lessons or a curriculum.
Dictionaries and translators
Uzbek/English Dictionary (FB Publishing). Bidirectional, with a claimed 100,000+ words, offline use and tap-to-translate.
Wisdom lugʻati: English-Uzbek. Made for Uzbek speakers learning English, with a listing written in Latin-script Uzbek and a claimed 120,000+ words and phrases. Usable in reverse as a reference.
Google Translate supports Uzbek text. See how far to trust it.
Textbooks
Uzbek: An Elementary Textbook by Nigora Azimova (Georgetown University Press). A functional approach to grammar with integrated skills; the publisher offers “authentic audio and video materials, available for free on GUPTextbooks.com”. It includes a Cyrillic reader as an appendix. Indiana University’s CeLCAR also lists elementary and intermediate Uzbek textbooks, sold through the same press. For free material see free resources to learn Uzbek.
Checked and do not offer Uzbek
On 17 September 2026 Uzbek was absent from the published language lists of Duolingo, Babbel, Busuu, Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone, Mondly and Drops. Memrise does not list Uzbek on memrise.com; we could not check community-made decks inside it. This can change, so check their current lists. See does Duolingo have Uzbek?
Could not verify
50Languages and LingoHut may have Uzbek material, but both sites blocked our checks, so we make no statement about them. Open their sites and look.
Where Uzbekcha fits
Uzbekcha is our own app, so it is listed last and not ranked. It is not available yet: it is pre-launch, for iOS and Android. It is meant to be an AI tutor that writes each lesson for your native language, reason and level, in Latin script, with every word split into root and suffixes, audio on every word, and an AI conversation partner.
