# Learn Albanian by reading real Albanian

Read Albanian from Albania and Kosovo, from the public broadcaster RTSH to KultPlus, and tap any word to see what it means in that sentence, in your own language.

Treni u nis me vonesë, prandaj **humba** takimin.

humba _verb, past, first person_

I missed (from humbas, to lose)

Humbas means to lose. With a meeting or a train it means to miss it: the train left late, so I missed the meeting.

Albanian, explained in English. You choose the language of your explanations.

## What to read in Albanian

Today, the daily edition, has headlines from Albanian outlets, including RTSH, RTSH Kulturë, RTSH Sport, Reporter.al and KultPlus. Open one and the article opens in the reader, where every word can be tapped.

Listen does not have an Albanian voice yet, so Albanian texts are for reading, not listening.

The Store has no Albanian books yet. Books there are in English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese.

You can also bring your own Albanian: import a PDF, save a link to a web article, or paste text. Whatever you read, it stays in Albanian, and help appears only where you ask for it.

## How a tap helps

The word turns bold and a note opens under its sentence with the meaning it has here, in your own language. Word analysis gives the root and the form. Select a few words or a sentence to translate just that part.

Every word you tap is saved with its sentence and comes back as a card, at longer and longer gaps, until you know it.

## Is it right for you?

ContextCat works best once you know enough Albanian to follow a simple text and want to read more of it. If you are starting from zero, begin with a course, and come back when short texts feel within reach. The [guides](https://contextcat.app/guides) have ideas on where to start.

## Questions

### Can I learn Albanian with ContextCat?

ContextCat helps you learn Albanian by reading it. Tap any word in a Albanian text and it explains what the word means in that sentence, in your own language, then brings the word back later for review. It does not replace a course for grammar or speaking.

### What is there to read in Albanian?

Today's edition has headlines from Albanian outlets such as RTSH, RTSH Kulturë and RTSH Sport. The Store has no Albanian books yet, so beyond Today you read your own: Albanian PDFs, web articles and pasted texts.

### Is ContextCat free for Albanian?

Yes, to start. The free plan includes 25 word explanations, 15 sentence translations a day and 3 imports, in every language. ContextCat Pro removes the limits.
