About Dothraki

Language family
Constructed (fictional — Game of Thrones)
Where it's spoken
Fictional (Essos); real-world fan learners
Speakers
learner community; no native speech community

Dothraki is a constructed language created by David J. Peterson for Game of Thrones. It has a smaller ready-made course footprint than High Valyrian, but a real grammar and dictionary exist. Pair the Living Language materials and languageinvention.com docs with community practice — hobby study, not an official studio curriculum.

How to start

  1. Pick one free course (or free-with-upgrades) below and finish a short beginner unit before hopping apps.
  2. Bookmark one dictionary or grammar reference and look up every unknown word for a week.
  3. Add 10–15 minutes of native listening or learner video most days — news, radio, or a teaching channel.
  4. Drill vocabulary with starter words.
  5. When ready, use a tutor marketplace listing below for short speaking sessions.
