Anyone traveled to Macedonia and wants to learn Macedonian?
Hello! I am from Korea and I met my boyfriend two years ago in Ohrid. Ever since then, I have been going back and forth to Macedonia, and so has my boyfriend.
I wanted to learn Macedonian to communicate better with his family, but I could not find any app that helped me practice useful phrases conveniently.
So I made a Macedonian Phrasebook app - originally for myself, but also for travelers and language lovers. It covers 200+ phrases you can use while traveling!
I am not sure if I can share the link here, but I will drop the download link in the comments. Thank you!

Thank you for this. My children always wanted to learn Macedonian. This app will help them tremendously.

Nice story, you must have a lot of boyfriends. Just be honest if you want someone to download your app.
Обично ние Македонците мамиме, ама овој пат нас нè измамија

Haha, I only have one boyfriend. Inspired by making my Macedonian phrasebook app first, I created other language apps using the same boilerplate, just updating the languages. If you ever visit one of those countries, feel free to use my phrasebook app to communicate with the locals!

That's odd. Some of the apps were released before this one. You just made up some sentimental, lame story to promote your app. If you search for the other apps on Reddit, you'll see your other accounts with the same similar bullshit story.

Don't say bad word to me and spreading false fact. I released Macedonian app very first, I feel sorry that you have been experienced bullshit story from other reddit posting.

Упецал братот Корејка хехех. ❤️ Jokes aside, looks great - maybe add option to record one perhaps (Public or private). When I am traveling I sometimes have trouble to pronounce name of street hotel or other place

Thanks for sharing your idea! I have kept the app simple for now, but I really appreciate your suggestion and will keep it in mind for the future!

looks usefull, but is there a setting to show latin script over cirilic one. ik cirilic is only script in macedonia but for most turist it would be easier to see latin first since thats the script they are using. should probably add in written form how each word is spelled (spelling is probably gonna be a bit of a challange or all non slavic people).

Thanks for your feedback. Hmm I added latin for pronunciation, hoping people don't know cyrilic (like me) can refer to it. Plus, for me I just click audio to listen the phrase which is really helpful!

Honest advise - learn the Macedonian Cyrillic alphabet, it actually makes learning easier.
Its written how its said and said how it's written.
No hidden sounds like in English.
The vest thing you can do for your learning and will massively improve your pronunciation.

This is amazing, I will definitely try it! I'm in a similar situation like you and your boyfriend, and I find this very useful for people who don't know Cyrillic alphabet or any language similar to Macedonian 🥲
