The longer answer
Duolingo is the most downloaded language app in the world, and it is the first place most Somali parents look. Its course list for English speakers has grown to more than forty languages, including several African languages such as Swahili and Zulu, and it once relied on volunteer contributors to build courses for smaller languages. Somali has never been among them, and Duolingo no longer adds languages through volunteers, so a Somali course would have to be built in-house.
Requests exist. Petitions, forum threads and social media posts ask for Somali every year, and it comes up regularly in the company's community discussions. Duolingo has not announced a Somali course, and it does not publish a roadmap of upcoming languages, so there is no date to wait for.
For families that want the Duolingo feel, streaks, XP and short daily sessions, Luuqad offers the same habit loop built specifically for Somali: 18 topics, native-speaker audio, quizzes and story games, with a leaderboard to keep children coming back.
What to use instead
For children and families, Luuqad is built only for Somali: 18 real-life topics, 250 words and phrases with native-speaker audio, a quiz for every topic, 12 games and a Grown-ups area. It is free to download on iPhone and iPad. Browse every word it teaches before you install anything.
For adults who want a large travel vocabulary fast, uTalk, Ling, LinGo Play also offer Somali content. Our alternatives page compares all of them honestly.
