## What is Parallel Arabic?

Most Arabic apps teach you the formal version — the one people rarely speak on the street. Parallel Arabic is different.

  We teach the dialects: Egyptian, Levantine, Moroccan Darija, and Modern Standard Arabic — so you can hold a real conversation with real people, wherever you are.

  Read in parallel
  Every story and lesson shows English, Arabic script, and transliteration side by side — so you can follow along at your own pace, whether you can read Arabic yet
   or not.

  Hear it like a native
  All content is voiced by native dialect speakers, not generic text-to-speech. Tap any word to hear it pronounced, see its meaning, and get example sentences —
  instantly.

  Learn your way
  Choose your dialect and start building vocabulary that actually matters to you. Generate custom lessons, stories, and practice sentences around topics you care
  about — not generic scripted content.

  AI that works for you
  Practice speaking with an AI tutor in your chosen dialect and get instant feedback. Read AI-generated stories on any topic, tap any word to translate it, and
  hear native audio pronunciations — all in one place.

  Built to make words stick
  Our spaced repetition review system schedules words at exactly the right time so you don't forget them. Each review session generates fresh stories and sentences
   using your saved words — not the same flashcards on repeat.

  See your progress
  Your vocabulary map grows with every word you learn, giving you a visual picture of how far you've come. Track your daily activity and climb the leaderboard.
