Description
Practice vocabulary and sentences that demonstrate a wide range of grammatical structures using our fun quiz game and our sentence scramble game! The sentence scramble game uses a repetition-spacing algorithm for quick familiarization with new sentences.
This app is probably best for intermediate and advanced Arabic learners who have a solid foundation and would like some supplementary exposure to different dialects. Some learners may be dismayed to find that all of our sentences and vocabulary are transliterated; however, the transliteration serves to disambiguate important phonological patterns crucial to the acquisition of a new dialect which are obscured by the Arabic script. That being said, we recognize the importance of practicing reading in the Arabic script and are working on a similar multi-dialectal project that will use the Arabic script... stay tuned!
You can use this app to learn any of the twenty Arabic dialects presented. Linguistic data was collected from native speakers from 20 different locations throughout the Arabophone world. They are: Sudanese Arabic (al-Khartoum) Algerian Arabic (Oum el Bouaghi) Egyptian Arabic (Cairo and Fayoum) Iranian Arabic (Ahwaz) Iraqi Arabic (Baghdad and Basra) Jordanian Arabic (Karak) Kuwaiti Arabic (Kuwait City) Lebanese Arabic (Nabatiya) Libyan Arabic (Sabha) Moroccan Arabic (Meknes) Omani Arabic (Salalah) Palestinian Arabic (Tul Karim) Saudi Arabic (Jedda, Riyadh) Syrian Arabic (Aleppo, Damascus, and Daraa) Yemeni Arabic (Marib)
The data was transcribed by linguists to capture the exact pronunciation, capturing the fine details which differentiate one dialect from another.

Great app for intermediate speakers. I would just like to make a suggestion: how about you add more dialects like Malawi Iraqi, Aden Yemeni, Tunisian Daria.etc.
