And you are so eager to speak this language ... Or it may be your Lebanese origins that lead you to take courses in lebanese dialect, to reconnect with them, or just to share with family when you visit the Land of Cedars. But you may also be one of those people who are passionate about Lebanon, who knew about it through a friend, a trip, a book or a documentary. And you are curious about this dialect ... Finally, it may happen that professional obligations motivate or even require you to learn lebanese. Keefak is your best ally! Antoine Fleyfel, author of 3 textbooks for speaking lebanese, and teacher of this dialect for more than 9 years, feeds this application with a series of constantly enriched courses accessible anywhere and anytime you want. Friendly greetings!

LEARN LANGUAGES FAST: uTalk gets results because every word you hear is in your new language and you speak, listen and understand from the start. With free starter words in 150+ languages, you can try it risk-free. Score 100% in the games and you can unlock an extra topic for free. WHY UTALK WORKS: 1. LEARN FROM THE LOCALS: We record native speakers so you hear every word pronounced clearly. Mimic their pronunciation and compare your intonation with theirs. Practise until you get it right – you can even slow the audio down if it’s too fast. 2. USEFUL EVERYDAY WORDS AND PHRASES. Topics take around two to three hours to complete. But you can dip in for just five minutes at a time or longer. With 60+ topics, that’s a total of 180 hours of learning. 3. KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED: Check your scores on progress bars as you move through five progressively difficult games. To get full marks, you’ll have to know the words as well as your own language. WHO’S IT FOR? uTalk’s tried and trusted way to learn a new language has been developed over 30 years and is perfect for beginners. But its wide-ranging language is also invaluable for intermediates looking to improve their vocabulary and pronunciation.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Keefak at none against uTalk's 90. Keefak also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). uTalk's advantage is ratings volume (987 vs 62) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. uTalk sells 89 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Keefak asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

uTalk holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: uTalk has 987 ratings behind it against 62, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Keefak's written reviews are positive against 63% of uTalk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Keefak ships an update every 2 months, uTalk monthly. The most recent releases landed on August 18, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
