Learn Saudi Arabic in a using our unique ICE methodology (Immersive, Customized, Experiential) to understand new words faster than you thought possible! WHAT IS ARABIUS? Ed-tech linguistic company founded and based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to help expats learn Arabic, engage culture, and enjoy Saudi. Founders developed a revolutionary language learning methodology designed to be the most engaging and effective experience on earth. You will learn language faster and improve long-term retention. Rather than focusing on memorization and speaking, we focus first on simply understanding and interacting with words through fun and effective games. Languages are not memorized, they are acquired naturally. No studying or memorizing required. Just play the games and you will start to understand basic words and sentences quicker than you ever thought possible! WHY DO YOU FOCUS ON SAUDI ARABIC? First of all, because we love Saudi! It’s an extraordinary place marked by rich cultural heritage and a warm, hospitable society. Vision 2030, the country’s current social and economic transformation plan, is welcoming people from all over the world who are interested to travel, work, and live in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabic is what people actually speak in daily life in KSA. Modern Standard Arabic is a beautiful and important language, but our focus is on helping you in real communication in daily life. Within a few lessons in the Arabius app, you will know words, phrases, common greetings and responses. And with a few more, you will be hearing and arranging complete sentences in Saudi Arabic HOW IS ARABIUS BETTER? Other language-learning apps are focused on either getting you hooked rather than actual learning OR rote memorization. Instead we focus on teaching you new words in an intuitive way. Rather than focusing on speaking, we focus on teaching you to understand many words at once. We use recordings of native speakers rather than computer generated sounds so you can hear all the nuances of the language. We NEVER use English to teach Arabic! Translation methodologies do not work. Rather we use pictures to encourage your brain to associate the object with the sound of the new word. KEY APP FEATURES: MINI SESSIONS After completing specific milestones, you will be able to attend a mini session with a Saudi guide! To practice your language skills and improve your experience, you can join 30-minute, live virtual sessions with a native speaker trained in ICE Methodology. This feature makes the Arabius app unique from other language learning experiences that offer either only an app or an online tutor matching platform. CULTURE CARDS As you venture through the sessions, you will earn golden dates as a reward for your efforts. These can be cashed in at the souq for unique culture cards on interesting cultural topics such as Saudi coffee and dates, a cultural staple in society. TOUR SAUDI Since the Arabius app is entirely focused on Saudi Language and Culture, you will be traveling virtually through various regions of the country as you learn Saudi Arabic. Enjoy the distinct aspects of the Kingdom as you explore the 13 different regions and discover the architecture, geography, and cultural landmarks that make Saudi a land like no other. LEARNING STYLE While the instructional language of the app is English, when it comes to teaching Arabic, you will find that no English is used. All lessons and gameplay follow our immersive methodology which is deeply rooted in language learning neuroscience. Users will match sounds they hear to images they see, focusing on hearing and speaking first, then reading later. This allows for faster learning as it follows a more natural immersion style as if you were in Saudi and surrounded by native speakers. SPACED REPETITION WORD STRENGTHENING By strategically selecting when and how words are reviewed, repetition is minimized and language-learning speed remains efficient and effective.
