Is Lithuanian on Duolingo?
No. Here is what to use

Short answer. No. As of 13 October 2026 Duolingo has no Lithuanian course, neither from English nor from any other language: its course list of 313 language pairs includes Polish and Czech but not Lithuanian, Latvian or Estonian. Babbel does not teach Lithuanian either. For a similar daily habit use Ling or Clozemaster, for speaking an AI partner such as Talkfirst or Talkpal, and for the A2 exam for permanent residence a mock exam.

How we checked

On 13 October 2026 we downloaded the public course list from Duolingo's own site (the courses page is duolingo.com/courses). It has 313 pairs of "language you learn" and "language you learn from". Lithuanian does not appear in any of them, as a target language or as a base language. The nearest courses are Polish and Czech, both taught from English. There are no Latvian or Estonian courses either, so none of the Baltic languages is on Duolingo.

We checked Babbel on the same day: the 13 languages it lists for English speakers are Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Danish, Dutch, Indonesian, Norwegian, Polish, Swedish and Turkish. Lithuanian is not among them.

Course lists change, so if you are reading this much later, look at duolingo.com/courses yourself. We update this page when we check again.

Can I learn Lithuanian on Duolingo some other way?

No. People sometimes search for "how to learn Lithuanian on Duolingo" hoping for a hidden or beta course. There is none in the official list. Taking Duolingo's Russian or Polish course will not teach you Lithuanian: Lithuanian is a Baltic language, not a Slavic one. Some words look familiar to speakers of Russian or Polish, but the endings, the cases and much of the vocabulary are different.

What you can carry over from Duolingo is the habit: a few minutes every day, short tasks, a streak. That works for Lithuanian too, you just need other tools.

One curiosity: Duostories, a fan project that is not an official Duolingo product, has 12 Duolingo stories translated into Lithuanian with audio, for English speakers. It is a nice listening exercise, not a course.

What to use instead

Pick by what you liked about Duolingo. All prices were checked in October 2026; the full comparison is in our review of apps for learning Lithuanian.

Short daily lessons: Ling

Ling is the closest to Duolingo in format: game-style lessons, dialogues and flashcards, and a Lithuanian course. The free plan has a limited number of lessons and ads; the paid plan is $16.99 a month or $89.99 a year.

Reviews and vocabulary: Clozemaster and Anki

Clozemaster has Lithuanian sentence lists from English, where you fill in the missing word. It suits you once you know the basics. Anki is free on the computer and on Android for your own flashcards.

Listening from zero: Pimsleur

Pimsleur has audio lessons for Lithuanian: you listen and answer out loud. Its programme for Lithuanian is short, one level of ten half-hour lessons by Pimsleur's own description, so treat it as a start.

Speaking: an AI conversation partner

This is what Duolingo-style lessons give least: someone asks you a question and you have to answer in your own words. Talkfirst is a voice trainer for spoken Lithuanian: you talk out loud with an AI partner from A1, and after each conversation you see pauses and mistakes explained in English, Russian or Ukrainian. Free: 35 voice minutes a week; Pro: 140 minutes a week for 500 Telegram Stars per 30 days. Talkpal is another AI partner with Lithuanian and 10 free minutes a day.

Grammar: Treniruoklis 3.0 and Šaunuolė

Duolingo hides grammar in exercises; Lithuanian cases are easier to learn with drills. Treniruoklis 3.0 (iPhone and iPad, from $22.99 a month) trains cases, numerals and verb government. Šaunuolė has free grammar exercises on the web.

A Duolingo-style routine for Lithuanian

If you want the same "15 minutes a day" feeling, here is a routine that covers what Duolingo would have:

1. 5 minutes of flashcards. Review words and phrases from previous days.
2. 10 minutes of speaking. A short conversation on one topic: introduce yourself, order coffee, ask the way. Say the phrases out loud, not in your head.
3. Once a week, 20 minutes of grammar. One topic, for example the accusative after turiu (I have) or perku (I buy), then use it in your next conversation.

For your first phrases, start with 100 essential Lithuanian phrases. For a full plan from zero, see how to learn Lithuanian from zero to A2.

If you need Lithuanian for permanent residence

Most people who search for Lithuanian on Duolingo live in Lithuania and need the A2 exam. A game app would not have prepared you for it anyway: the exam has a written part on a computer and an oral part with an examiner, plus a separate test on the Constitution. How it works: the Lithuanian A2 exam and the Constitution exam. You can try both on Talkfirst: the mock A2 exam scores the oral part from 0 to 10, and the Constitution test follows the official format of 20 questions in 45 minutes.
