Example

C Claude RunDrill Kazakh

C

Suffixes copy the vowel of the word. үй (house) takes a front vowel. Pick the plural:

a) үйлар · b) үйлер

a

C

Close — but ү is a front vowel, so the suffix must be front too: үйлер. I'll bring vowel harmony back tomorrow.

Tracked — back tomorrow

C

Real speech contracts words textbooks never show. What does келатыр mean? Expand it to full form:

келатыр = ___

келе жатыр

C

Exactly — келе жатыр (is coming). In fast speech the converb and auxiliary merge. You'll hear this everywhere.

Tracked — colloquial forms

C

This sentence was written by AI. What sounds 'Russian'?

Қазақстан аймақтық экономикада үлкен рөл ойнайды.

үлкен рөл ойнайды — it's «играет большую роль»

C

Exactly — «рөл ойнау» is a calque. A native speaker would say маңызды орын алады.

Tracked — de-calque

01 — why this works

Not a phrasebook.
A coach that fits you

Never rushes, never judges

Explains as many times as it takes, adapts to your pace, and starts exactly where you stopped — with infinite patience.

Drill what you actually use

Skip the textbook phrases. Tell it what you need, like work, family, or ordering coffee, and practice the words you'll use today.

Tackles what makes Kazakh hard

Vowel harmony, suffix stacking, street contractions, even Russian calques — each one drilled until you master them.

Repeats until you get it right

It tracks your weak spots and brings them back over time. You keep practicing until you stop making mistakes.

02 — inside the course

Serious Kazakh,
from first letters to C2 polish

The curriculum has 149 tracked topics. It starts with the sounds that make Kazakh Kazakh, then moves through cases, suffix order, real speech, writing, media, and professional-level editing.

A0 001

Kazakh-specific sounds in real words

ә, ғ, қ, ң, ө, ұ, ү, һ, і — not as alphabet trivia, but inside words you can recognize.

Writing SystemSurvival

A1 009

Plural suffix -ЛАР and vowel harmony

The early rule that unlocks Kazakh suffixes: front words take front suffixes, back words take back suffixes.

Noun MorphologyCore

A2 148

Stacking suffixes in order

Build forms like кітабымда step by step: stem, possessive, buffer, case. This is where Kazakh starts to feel systematic.

Possessive + caseReal pain point

B1 150

Colloquial and reduced spoken forms

Decode fast speech that textbooks skip, like келе жатыр becoming келатыр.

ConversationMedia

B2 141

Choosing the right modal

КЕРЕК, ТИІС, -уға тура келді, -МАҚШЫ, -А АЛ- — learn the difference between need, duty, pressure, intention, and ability.

WorkWriting

C2 146

Editing Kazakh text

Fix calques, register, and flow in human or AI-written drafts. The course keeps going after grammar becomes correct.

Add the course to your agent

Pick where you work — two lines and you're in. It's free: the course runs inside the agent you already use, with no separate subscription.

Type these straight into the chat (Claude Code or Claude Desktop):

# add the RunDrill marketplace, then the course
/plugin marketplace add rundrill/rundrill-lang
/plugin install rundrill-kazakh@rundrill-lang

# then start coaching
/kazakh-coach

On Claude Desktop you can also add it through Settings → Extensions — but typing the commands above is faster.

Add the RunDrill catalog, then install from the plugin directory:

codex plugin marketplace add rundrill/rundrill-lang

Open the plugin directory, find rundrill-kazakh, and install it. Then start the kazakh-coach skill.

Drop the rundrill-kazakh folder into one of these:

# for every project
~/.gemini/config/plugins/rundrill-kazakh/

# just this workspace
<workspace>/.agents/plugins/rundrill-kazakh/

Restart the agent and start the kazakh-coach skill.

Any MCP client — point it at the RunDrill server over HTTP:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rundrill-kazakh": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.rundrill.com/lang/kazakh"
    }
  }
}

Then ask your agent to start the Kazakh coach.

First run opens a browser tab to sign in, then closes it — no API key to paste. Your progress follows you across machines and chats.

04 — your first session

What happens when you start

Run /kazakh-coach and the agent takes the wheel.

01

It finds your level

First time, it asks a few quick questions to place you on the A0–C2 map. Total beginner? It starts at the alphabet.

02

One short drill at a time

It asks, you answer in the chat. Right or wrong, you get a plain explanation — then the next one.

03

It writes down your misses

Each result is saved on the server. Start a new chat tomorrow and your weak spots come back as fresh drills.

Сәлем! New here — have you studied Kazakh before, or starting from zero?

From zero.

Great — we'll start with the alphabet. First letter coming up.

Got it. I'll bring travel words, directions, and polite forms up first — and lean your drills toward speaking.

wait — why a front vowel?

C

Because үй has ү, a front vowel — and suffixes copy it:

back (а о ұ ы) → -лар
front (ә ө ү е і) → -лер

So the plural is үйлер, not үйлар.

draw a way to remember this

C

Picture a see-saw — a word and its suffix stay on the same side:

ә ө ү е і /\ а о ұ ы
front back

Front word → front suffix. Back word → back.

what did I get wrong last time?

RunDrill · recall

From yesterday, two things slipped:

the dative -ге vs -ға, and the letter ң

Let's redo those first.
