## What is Silq?

Learn Languages of Central Asia, South Asia & the Middle East
Silq is the first gamified language learning app built specifically for the Central Asian and Afghan diaspora. Whether you grew up hearing Persian (Dari) at home, want to connect with your Pashto-speaking family, or are rediscovering your heritage — Silq makes it fun, fast, and culturally real.
Learn Like You Play Silq turns language learning into a game. Earn points, unlock levels, and build streaks as you master vocabulary, phrases, and real conversations across Persian (including the Dari variant), Pashto, Tajik, Uzbek, and more.
Built for the Diaspora Most language apps treat every region the same. We don't. Silq recognizes regional variation — like the Afghan Dari variant of Persian, or Afghan Pashto versus Pakistani Pakhto — because these differences are a huge part of our heritage and culture. Silq is built by and for the community, with authentic vocabulary, cultural context, and the words your family actually uses.

### 2/5 — Sadly AI slop

*2026-08-05*

I was super excited about this - I rarely see a language learning app that offers my need of language, Gujarati. However, immediately the AI-generated pronunciation was awful. phrases as simple as “goodbye” and “how are you” are butchered. If you can’t have a native speaker do your pronunciation, or at the least quality check it, don’t offer it yet!

### 5/5 — So happy

*2026-07-28*

This is exactly what I needed, I’m so excited to learn Dari and be confident talking with my bibi Jan

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-24*

Money was taken out of my account directly by the app developer, not Apple, before my free trial was even up. I’ve tried emailing using the email on the website but it shows up as undeliverable.

### 3/5 — Improvements needed!

*2026-07-20*

A good app for learning Dari but the app is glitchy despite paying for a premium subscription. Understandable as it’s a new app but lots of improvement is needed. 

Some of the audio does not match up and you are forced to do lessons in order, you cannot choose what you want to learn. The flashcards also do not appear for me.

### 3/5 — screen freezes

*2026-07-17*

it freezes

### 2/5 — Idk

*2026-07-17*

I want to sign in the continue button does not work and when a quiz is loading then i‘m getting kicked out..

### 2/5 — I really wanted to like it 💔

*2026-07-13*

Almost unusable, tried to click into Syrian Arabic but the AI voice started speaking a completely different language

### 2/5 — Audio doesn’t match

*2026-07-10*

Was excited to learn Punjabi but some of the audio is a different language than Punjabi and the pronunciations don’t help you at all as they are in an American accent and incorrect

### 1/5 — Kept Crashing

*2026-07-03*

I didn’t even get to USE it. Didn’t get the past the question stage where it asks where you’re at. Kept crashing me out. I deleted and reinstalled over and over but still never worked.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2026-07-02*

I first heard about this through social media and thought it would be amazing as it didn’t focus on mainstream languages, but then I found out this app forces one to pay after doing a self-assessment on what your level is within that language. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP!
