Kyrgyz language course A1

Frequently asked questions

I have never studied Kyrgyz. Is this course for me?

Yes — it starts with the alphabet and the sounds ң, ө, ү. Kyrgyz is introduced step by step through ready-made phrases; explanations are in Russian, English or Turkish.

How long does level A1 take?

At 15–20 minutes a day — a few months: the trainer runs the review plan for you, and you set the pace. Consistency matters more than session length.

How do I know A1 is the right level?

Take the free 15-question level test on learn.kg — it shows your starting point. If in doubt, Altynai will advise based on your result.

How does the state test at A1 work, and where can I practise?

Format, levels and registration — on the official testing website: kyrgyztest.gov.kg. You can practise on the course material with the learn.kg practice test: learn.kg/probny-test-a1/en — 20 tasks in 15 minutes. The tasks are written by learn.kg from the course materials and are not related to the tasks of the official test.

Do I need A1 for a residence permit in Kyrgyzstan?

Since August 2025 the law requires Kyrgyz for a residence permit and immigrant status; Russian is no longer accepted, and the State Language Commission names level A1. The A1 course ends with an exam week — a final course check. Full breakdown of the law: learn.kg/blog/kyrgyzskiy-dlya-vnzh/en.
