## What is ShuFee?

Make yourself at home in Lebanese Arabic.

LEBANESE CONNECTIONS, WORLDWIDE
Lebanese-American communities have roots in 19th-century migration, and over 248,000 Australians reported Lebanese ancestry in the 2021 census. Whether you’re reconnecting with family, talking with friends or preparing for a visit, a little everyday Lebanese can bring you closer.

FREE TO TRY
Start with 12 everyday verbs in the present tense, all eight pronouns, and unlimited practice on Easy or Hard. Both scripts, both voices, progress tracking and focused review are included. No trial deadline.

UNLOCK THE FULL COLLECTION
A one-time Full Access purchase unlocks all 70 verbs, 140 example sentences and all four tenses: present, past, future and progressive. No subscription. If you previously bought the paid ShuFee app, Full Access is included automatically after your original App Store purchase is verified. Use the same Apple Account; Restore purchases is available in Settings.

ShuFee helps you practise the everyday Arabic spoken in Lebanon, one verb at a time. Follow the lessons and instructions in English, French or Brazilian Portuguese. Read Lebanese forms in Arabic script or Arabizi, and hear them aloud.

EVERYDAY VERBS. PRACTICAL CONJUGATIONS.
Explore eight pronouns across the present, past, future and progressive. Browse conjugation tables, search by meaning in your language, and see each verb in context with two example sentences.

LISTEN TO LEBANESE
Hear pronouns, verb forms, complete practice phrases and selected example sentences. Choose Fadi, Jasmine or alternating voices. The two Lebanese voices are AI-generated, and the audio is bundled for offline use. Press and hold a pronunciation button for slower playback.

BUILD EVERY VERB. EASY OR HARD.
Build each form from tiles (a beginning, a base and an ending) or choose from four answers. When you’re ready, listen to a pronoun and choose its form, or type it from memory. Easy mixes Choose and Build, Hard mixes Listen and Type, or pick one method. Turn hints on for extra guidance. Switch between Arabic and Arabizi; optional vowel marks help you read Arabic.

SHORT LESSONS, REAL EXAMPLES
Meet the eight pronouns, including the different ways to address one man, one woman or a group. Learn to read Arabizi, then take a short lesson for each of the four tenses: when to use it, how its forms are built for every person, all eight forms side by side, real sentences and a quick check you can retry.

YOUR PRACTICE, YOUR PACE
Choose your verbs, tenses, pronouns and session length. Set a daily goal, follow your progress and revisit forms you missed. Optional reminders give you a friendly nudge when you’ve been away. Your progress and unfinished session stay on your device, even when you change the app language.

LEBANESE, PART OF THE LEVANT
Lebanese Arabic belongs to the Levantine family, alongside the closely related varieties spoken in Syria, Jordan and Palestine. ShuFee focuses on Lebanese forms rather than formal Modern Standard Arabic. Regional pronunciation and Arabizi spellings can vary.

No ads or account required. Practice and audio work offline; an internet connection is needed for purchase and purchase verification.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-01-17*

Really good app for learning how to conjugate verbs in the different tenses. Would be helpful to have a searchable dictionary in the app.

### 5/5 — Great little app for basic practice but very few verbs

*2023-08-21*

Really love the concept and execution is 99% perfect but disappointed by the limited amount of verbs used. Would be amazing if instead of 5 verbs the app added a vocabulary component to the practice. Even though I get how much additional work it would require from developers.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review and suggestions! I plan on rolling out an update soon that includes additional verbs and will also take into consideration the vocabulary component suggested for future updates. Merci ktir!
