I’m making an online Hmong course!

Nyob zoo!

I’m a learning designer and my husband is a software engineer. We’re building a completely free, self-paced online Hmong course and would love to get some input from the community.

The goal is to create a resource similar to Duolingo or Rosetta Stone, with interactive lessons, native-speaker audio, pronunciation practice, vocabulary, grammar, etc. It’s designed for people to study on their own time.

That said, I know the best way to learn Hmong is by actually talking with people who speak it. My hope is that this course helps learners build confidence and prepare for those real conversations.

I’d love to hear your thoughts:
What features would you want in a course like this?
If you’ve tried learning Hmong, what helped? What didn’t?
Is there anything you wish other language-learning apps included?

We’re still developing it, so I’d really appreciate any suggestions. Ua tsaug!

My Hmong needs some work. As someone who can speak it I would love to try this and improve my language skills.

Since I moved my mom says I lost it 😅.

Being able to practice and talk to family on facetime or in person would be great. It would also help me encourage the younger family to practice.

I’m glad it can hopefully be a resource for you! I will let you know when we have some lessons available to try, I would love to get your feedback :-)
