Hey Roxy! Java is still official for Android, too, and will continue to be important for a long time. We will support both languages for Android, just like Google, but we have a huge head start on the Java side and will continue to keep that healthy. For now, you'll definitely want to start with our Java material in the Beginner Android Track, but you can check out Kotlin for Java Devs and Kotlin and Anko after taking a few courses.

We need to figure out exactly how and when we can add more Kotlin material, but Ben Deitch and I are super excited about it!
