Over sixteen million people speak the Albanian language . Most of them reside in Albania, which has an estimated population of over 8 million people, and in the region of Kosovo. Other pockets of Albanian speakers are found in the Macedonian Republic as well as in Serbia and Montenegro.

In addition, small pockets of Albanian speakers have emerged in the United States as the number of Albanian immigrants rises. Passing on Albanian to the second generation as is the case with all immigrant communities becomes a concern.

With a comparatively smaller population base, finding resources for learning Albanian can be challening. One resource to consider is the series of products produced by EuroTalk, which is quite famous for producing learning software for less commonly spoken languages, or for those languages which are not in large demand in Western countries. In fact, EuroTalk produces courses for more than 113 languages at last count.

EuroTalk products provide help in up 99 languages, so the user is not limited to being an English speaker.

The course available for Albanian is called Talk Now Albanian.

The Talk Now series has been used by more than three million people to date in all its various language titles due in part to the extensive line of languages produced.

It’s ideal for travelers, holidaymakers, business people, schoolchildren, students and families.

There are nine topics: first words, food, colors, phrases, parts of the body, numbers, time, shopping and countries.

Each topic contains listening practice, an easy game, a hard game, a printable dictionary as well as the opportunity to record your voice and hear how you sound in comparison to the two native speakers who tutor the user throughout the Talk Now! course.
