About Learn Cornish
Cornwall has its own language. Now you can learn it. Cornish (Kernewek) has been spoken here for over a thousand years. Whether you've grown up in Cornwall, moved here, or just feel the pull of the place, Learn Cornish makes picking it up easier than you think. Start from zero. A few minutes a day. No pressure. Free to use. No ads. WHAT YOU'LL DO • Short, friendly lessons that build up at your own pace • Speaking practice — say the words aloud and get instant feedback • Native pronunciation on every word and phrase • Twelve mini-games — Word Scramble, Flashcard Sprint, Hangman, Crossword, Word Search, Spelling Bee and more • Daily challenges to keep your streak alive • Clear grammar reference for when you're ready • Built-in Cornish dictionary, searchable from anywhere in the app • Classes and head-to-head challenges to learn with friends, family, or a teacher WHY LEARN CORNISH? Cornish lives in the place names you pass every day, in songs at festivals, on signs from Penzance to Padstow. Learning even a little brings Cornwall to life in a new way — and helps keep a beautiful language thriving for the next generation. WHO IT'S FOR • Locals reconnecting with their heritage • Newcomers who want to feel more at home in Cornwall • Curious learners who love discovering new languages • Teachers and students working through Cornish in class • Anyone who's ever wondered what "Kernow bys vyken" means (it's "Cornwall forever") Your progress is saved to your account and syncs across all your devices, so you can learn on your phone, tablet, or computer.

What’s new
Version 1.5.3 · Updated September 30, 2026
Bug fixes and improvements: - Answer options no longer run off the screen in lessons, and long lists now scroll. - Sentence builder questions with long answers can be completed again. - Pronunciation audio plays again on iPhone, and speaking practice hears you properly. - Your progress, streak and settings are no longer lost after syncing, and Hangman and Verb Conjugation wins are recorded. - More correct answers are accepted, with fewer false "wrong" marks for small formatting differences. - Fixed the app sometimes saying there was no internet connection, or getting stuck loading, when the connection was fine. Pages now also retry by themselves when the connection drops for a moment. - Your streak now shows 0 as soon as a day is missed, and tapping the flame explains how streaks work. - Changing your name or profile photo no longer resets your streak, and profile photos can be uploaded again. - The leaderboard now says that it counts this week's XP and resets every Monday. - Verb conjugations now show the present and past participles. - The dictionary keyboard can now be closed with the Search key, or by dragging or tapping the results. - The streak reminder now comes once an evening, at 8pm, and never more than once even if you have more than one device. - Fixed an error screen that could appear in Dictionary Practice. - Corrected some Cornish grammar labels. - Words are only added to your word collection when you open them in the dictionary. - Re-opening a finished lesson no longer shows a score of 0 out of 0. - Security and reliability improvements. Meur ras for learning Cornish with us!
