Short Stories
Practice reading Arabic in context. Click any word to instantly see its translation, transliteration, and pronunciation. Generate your own stories on any topic โ Egyptian street food, Levantine pop culture, whatever interests you.
Learn what is actually spoken
Learning Arabic is hard. Most apps teach Fusha โ when what you actually want is to have real conversations with Egyptians, Lebanese, or Moroccans.

Built around dialects, from the ground up
Hereโs what that looks like in practice โ seven ways to read, practice, and remember the Arabic you actually want to speak.
Lessons
Explore 50+ structured lessons per dialect covering vocabulary, grammar, and phrases โ or use AI to generate lessons on any topic you're interested in.
Sentence Practice
See your saved words used naturally in sentences. Two practice modes:
- Writing โ Type out Arabic sentences using a custom virtual Arabic keyboard, or your device's native keyboard.
- Matching โ Drag and drop Arabic words into the correct order to form a sentence.
Spaced Repetition
Review your saved words on a schedule proven to build long-term retention โ and each session pulls from the words youโve actually saved.
Vocabulary Map
Save words and watch your Arabic vocabulary grow visually over time. See at a glance how much you know across all four dialects.
Click to Define
Click on any word anywhere in the app for a detailed breakdown: meaning, transliteration, dialect variant, native audio, and example usage.

How Parallel Arabic works
A simple loop: learn words, see them in context, make them stick.

Skip this step if you're not a beginner!
Master the foundations first
Arabic script looks intimidating, and you're unsure where to even begin with a language that reads right-to-leftโฆ
Start with the Arabic alphabet and structured lessons that introduce essential vocabulary and grammar patterns across all four dialects. Every word you learn gets saved to your personal deck, ready for review and practice.

Immerse yourself in authentic Arabic
Read stories, tap any word
Textbook Arabic feels disconnected from how people actually speak. You want to understand real conversations, not just formal phrasesโฆ
Dive into stories written in Egyptian, Levantine, Moroccan Darija, or Modern Standard Arabic. Tap any word to instantly see its meaning, transliteration, and pronunciation. Every sentence comes with native audio. Save words directly to your deck as you go.

Your content, your way
Generate content from your own words
Generic language apps bore you. The same repetitive exercises, the same irrelevant topicsโฆ
Use AI to generate custom stories and practice sentences built around the words you're actually studying. Want to practice Egyptian street food vocab? Levantine soccer slang? Generate it instantly. Your words, your context โ not someone else's curriculum.
Your saved words include:
- Arabic script with transliteration
- Native audio pronunciation
- English translation and context
- Example sentences in your chosen dialect

Make it stick
Review your words with spaced repetition
You've studied Arabic before but the words just don't stick. A week later, you've forgotten everythingโฆ
Review your saved words with spaced repetition โ the method that schedules reviews at exactly the right time. Unlike a plain flashcard app, each session generates fresh stories and practice sentences using your saved words, so you encounter them in different contexts rather than the same card over and over.
