Bersiv teaches you authentic Kurmanci Kurdish by replacing Arabic loanwords with their native Kurdish equivalents — the way the language was spoken before centuries of influence changed it.
Every lesson follows a simple two-step mechanic:
Identify the Arabic loanword hiding in a Kurdish sentence
Choose the correct pure Kurmanci replacement
This is not just a vocabulary app. It is a cultural reclamation project helping Kurdish speakers reconnect with the authentic roots of their language.
