The Bluebird App offers 146 source languages and 163 target languages and dialects, including Kyrgyz.
The Kyrgyz language course in this app includes the following:
There are about 500 video lessons for learning Kyrgyz, each 5 to 60 minutes long. For languages with other scripts, the words can also be displayed transliterated in the Latin script.
The Bluebird app has no grammar lessons. Instead, you are supposed to understand the grammar "implicitly" from the examples, like in Rosetta Stone.
Summary: The video lessons and the interface take some getting used to, but the exercises are quite varied. Especially for smaller languages, this app is a viable alternative.
Suitable for: Beginners and intermediate learners, travel vocabulary, business
Content: Kyrgyz vocabulary lessons and exercises
Prices: $35 (Level 1), $55 (Level 1-3)
Overall Value: 
The Instant Immersion Kyrgyz learning software is available for download only for PCs and Macs.
According to the vendor, this software is supposed to be "as good as Rosetta Stone", but much cheaper because less money is spent on advertising.
Unfortunately, this promise cannot hold.
The software interface is chaotic and all three "language levels" offer a chaotic mix of easy and difficult words.
Essentially, this software only introduces new Kyrgyz vocabulary with native speaker audio and pictures, and then there are a few exercises.
Kyrgyz grammar is not included at all.
Summary: Limited scope and bad interface. At least it is relatively cheap and there is a 90-day money-back guarantee.
Content: Kyrgyz lessons with native speaker audio and speech recognition, grammar
Prices: $35 (second language for free)
Overall Value:
The Linguashop educational software ("TeachMe") is available for over 90 languages, including Kyrgyz. It also includes an audio CD.
The native speaker audio and speech recognition are relatively good.
However, the interface of the learning software is quite chaotic and there are no exercises — only lessons where new vocabulary is presented.
It is also unclear how many words are included in this Kyrgyz learning program. There is no information about this on the website.
Some grammar lessons are included — however, these are basically just images with short texts.
Summary: Poor quality for a relatively low price. You get language courses for two languages when you buy, one as a free bonus.
