Speak Somali

In Somali, you do not just say hello. You say Nabad, peace. It is a greeting that carries a whole culture inside it, and for many in the Somali diaspora it is also a thread back to family, to grandparents, to a home language that daily life in London, Minneapolis or Oslo slowly pushed aside.

Speak Somali is built to pick that thread back up, from the very start. It moves from Salaan and Nabad through to real conversation across 54 levels, 179 lessons and more than 845 words and phrases, each lesson laid on top of the last so it holds.

You will cover the essentials in order: greetings, food (rooti, bariis and the staples of a Somali meal), family, numbers, telling time, the places that anchor the language (Muqdisho, Hargeysa, Berbera, Kismaayo), then verbs, grammar and everyday talk.

THE METHOD
- Spaced repetition brings each word back right before you would lose it
- Six exercise types keep every lesson fresh: listening, translation, typing, fill in the blank, word bank, matching
- Clear built-in audio for every word
- Phonetic guides throughout
- Works fully offline, since the audio is bundled inside the app
