I'd like to learn Tamazight or any related Berber language by self-learning, in a first step. As far as I know they are similar to some extent, therefore I'm not excluding the possibility to use another language.

Therefore I'm looking for preferably free resources, preferably online which have a focus on:

  • building up a vocabulary basis.
  • learning at least some helpful sentences for a simple communication.
  • an extra plus would be if audio material as a help and support to learn the pronunciation would be available.

I've used Memrise for years to help me build up my vocabulary for various languages. It's great in that any language can have a Memrise course built for it, so it works well for less popular ones such as Tamazight. Here is a Memrise course for learning Tamazight. I find that getting comfortable with some basic vocab and hearing the sounds of the language are the best first steps into a new language. I'd like to point you to some quality auditory material, but that does seem to be lacking. Maybe someone else will be able to help you out there.

    HI and welcome to Language Learning Stack Exchange. Could you please improve your answer by adding at least the following information: What is the source language if you want to use Tamazight using that app? How exactly does the app teach the language? Does it also teach the writing system and, if yes, how? How does it teach pronunciation? What is the proficiency level you can reach with this app, e.g. on the CEFR scale?
