What you will be able to do

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.

What is on the Kyrgyztest A1 exam, and where can I try the format?

The test procedure is the same for every level: 5 subtests, 156 tasks, 2 hours 50 minutes — “Lexis and grammar” 90 tasks in 70 minutes, listening and reading 30 tasks in 25 minutes each, writing and speaking 3 tasks in 25 minutes each. You can rehearse the largest subtest in 15 minutes: learn.kg/probny-test-a1/en.

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 a mock exam in the official Kyrgyztest format. Full breakdown of the law: learn.kg/blog/kyrgyzskiy-dlya-vnzh/en.
