Dialogues in the Uzbek language for beginners are a great way to quickly learn conversational phrases and expand your vocabulary. In this lesson, Marina Kozlova continues introducing you to the basics through exercises. We build on the knowledge from the first three lessons of my Uzbek self-study course and review elementary Uzbek grammar.
Here you will find simple texts in Uzbek, created specifically for beginners, and you will also be able to compose your own dialogue (dialog tuzish) in Uzbek. If you’ve just started learning the language, these materials are perfect for you.
