About
ShqipAcademy.com is a platform for learning Albanian — built for the diaspora, for learners abroad, and for anyone who wants to stay connected to the language.
Our Mission
Albanian is spoken by millions of people, yet structured, accessible ways to learn it online are hard to find. ShqipAcademy.com offers original Albanian courses for ages 3 to 16 — from first words to confident, formal Albanian — written in-house, with tap-to-reveal translations and a quiz in every course, in one membership.
Our Journey
The gap
Further details
Diaspora parents were stitching together free PDFs, video playlists, and paid tutors just to give their kids a starting point, with no way to track progress or pick up where a resource left off.
The idea
Further details
Rather than another course dumped online, the plan was one membership: a structured, in-house learning path members could follow level by level from beginner to advanced, with a quiz to test what they've learned.
What we built
Further details
A one-time payment with tiered plans, a self-service account for managing access and progress, and a checkout flow that works for both a free trial and an upgrade.
What's next
Further details
Growing the catalog beyond the initial offering, and finishing the online payment integration so members can pay by card end-to-end instead of the current interim checkout.
Why ShqipAcademy.com
Structured, not scattered
Every course follows a clear path from lesson to lesson, instead of jumping between unrelated free resources.
Learn and test yourself
The courses and their quizzes live in the same membership, reinforcing each other.
Built for the diaspora
Designed with diaspora families and Albanian-heritage learners in mind, not a generic multi-language platform.
No auto-renewal
Pay once for the plan length you choose — no recurring charges, no hidden fees.
Secure payments
We never see or store your card details. Online card payment is being set up with a secure payment provider.
What's Included in a Membership
A single ShqipAcademy.com plan gives members 14 structured courses — 11 age-based courses from age 3 to 16, a Culture & Heritage course, and two phrasebooks for teens and adults, 1,400 phrases in all — with a quiz in every course, plus live one-to-one Sunday sessions (request a place). Everything is accessible from any device, at each member's own pace.
Who ShqipAcademy.com Is For
We built this for diaspora families raising children who don't yet speak Albanian, for partners and professionals learning the language for personal or work reasons, and for anyone with a general interest in the Albanian language who wants one place to learn.
One Payment, No Auto-Renewal
ShqipAcademy.com runs on flexible plan lengths rather than a single fixed term — members choose the plan that fits them and pay once for that access period, with nothing set to renew automatically. Card payments will be handled by a secure payment provider; we never see or store your card details.
Facts About Albania
Albanian is its own independent branch of the Indo-European language family — not closely related to the Slavic languages spoken by its neighbors — which is part of why dedicated courses matter more than generic "learn a Balkan language" material.
