Why Learn Albanian?

static block photo

Albanian is a historic language of the Balkans in Southeastern Europe. In fact, it’s one of the few languages in the world that are holdovers from ancient languages no longer spoken. It’s the only remaining language of the Paleo-Balkan branch called Albanoid. Albanian is the official language of Albania and Kosovo, a disputed region near Serbia.

With nearly 8 million native speakers, Albanian is an official co-language of North Macedonia and Montenegro and is also recognized as a minority language in Serbia, Croatia, Romania, and Italy. Albanian is regulated and maintained by the Academy of Sciences in Albania and the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Kosovo.

Speak Albanian with Confidence. Read like a Native.

Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Albanian. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Albanian language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.

It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.

It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.

Don't miss out. Try learning Albanian with Pimsleur today while your first week is FREE!

Common Questions About Learning Albanian

Is Albanian a difficult language to learn?

This answer depends on the type of language learning platform you’re using. If you’re going to learn Albanian with traditional methods – heavy reading, rote grammar sessions, etc. – it can be a tough task. But with Pimsleur’s aural and oral method, you’ll listen and speak your way to success. The Albanian language uses the Latin alphabet and uses a similar number of vowels and consonants as English. While challenges exist as you learn to speak Albanian (relatively complex grammar, case and gender nouns, etc.), you’ll find Pimsleur the most effective platform to get you speaking Albanian quickly.

How long does it take to learn Albanian?

Pimsleur learners start to speak a new language after their first lesson, and Albanian is no different. As long as you bring that “double c” combination to the table – curiosity and commitment – you’ll enjoy an accelerated learning pace with our Albanian courses. The key is you have to study Albanian efficiently, without the confusion associated with learning a new language. Thanks to our helpful tools and courses like Speed Round Games, Uninterrupted Learning, Digital Flash Cards, and more, your confidence increases each time you use the Pimsleur app to learn the Albanian language.

What are the main challenges when learning the Albanian language?

Every language has its own idiosyncrasies, Albanian included. Some challenges with Albanian lessons are relatively easy, while others are harder. For example, Albanian has three genders to consider (neuter is the third Albanian gender). Furthermore, Albanian in many aspects is not directly comparable to other languages, though it’s influenced by Greek, Serbian, Turkish, and other tongues. As you learn the Albanian language with Pimsleur, you’ll also encounter complex moods and tenses. However, our focus on listening to the language will help you acquire these rules.

How important is pronunciation in learning Albanian?

Proper pronunciation is critical as you learn Albanian, especially considering there are certain sounds to emphasize and stress correctly, such as the Schwa (ə), which has a large variability depending on its use. Our Albanian lessons are enhanced with our Voice Coach with AI pronunciation feedback tool, which helps you nail down the particulars of speaking Albanian.

Is the Albanian course suitable for complete beginners?
