Azerbaijani · Azərbaycanca · AI speaking partner
Azerbaijani, one suffix at a time.
Azerbaijani is Turkish’s close cousin with a Persian accent: Turkish speakers understand it, Persian speakers know half the vocabulary, and everyone else meets a suffix grammar for the first time. Learners come for Baku, for business in the energy sector, for partners.
Your AI partner talks with you in Azerbaijani daily, corrects the suffix and the harmony on screen, and keeps the conversation going.

Why Azerbaijani is hard to speak
What stops learners talking, and what fixes it.
Vowel harmony and suffix chains
"Evlərimizdə" (in our houses): one word, four suffixes, all agreeing. Built by saying them, corrected.
Not Turkish
Turkish speakers understand and say it with Turkish vowels and Turkish words ("ben" for "mən"). Each slip caught on screen.
The sounds: ə, ğ, x, q
"Ə" is the commonest vowel and does not exist in Turkish. Word Mode has you say the words back until they are Azerbaijani.

Questions
Before you start speaking Azerbaijani
I speak Turkish. Is Azerbaijani easy?
You will understand most of it from day one. Speaking it well means the "ə", the different words and a few grammar differences, and not sounding Turkish, which the partner catches.
I speak Urdu or Persian. How much is familiar?
Much of the vocabulary (kitab, dünya, dost, vaxt) and the verb-at-the-end order. The suffix system is new; daily speaking with explanations in Urdu makes it fast.
Are the corrections explained in my own language?
Yes. You choose the language you already speak at setup (English, Urdu, Hindi, Arabic and 50 more), and explanations in Start from Zero and Word Mode come in it while the practice stays in Azerbaijani.
