Macedonian is a South Slavic language written in Cyrillic, closely related to Bulgarian. Definite articles attach to nouns, which feels different from Russian-style Slavic. Learn Cyrillic with the script trainer, then use Duolingo and MRT news.
How to start
- Learn the writing system first with the script trainer — meet a few characters, match them, then recall.
- Pick one free course (or free-with-upgrades) below and finish a short beginner unit before hopping apps.
- Bookmark one dictionary or grammar reference and look up every unknown word for a week.
- Add 10–15 minutes of native listening or learner video most days — news, radio, or a teaching channel.
- Drill vocabulary with First 500 words.
- When ready, use a tutor marketplace listing below for short speaking sessions.
