Where you start talking. Yalla is a language-learning app built on conversation with a teacher: Hebrew, Arabic, English, Spanish, French and Russian. Learn to speak the language of the street, not the textbook, talking with your teacher from the very first lesson, with every explanation in English, Hebrew or Arabic. Six languages, each with its own teachers: • Hebrew with Noa and David: the Hebrew you hear at work, at the clinic and at the supermarket. • Spoken Arabic with Layla and Samer: the Arabic you hear around you, at work, at the market, next door. • English with Emma and Ben: for Hebrew and Arabic speakers who understand everything and freeze when it's time to talk. • Spanish with Sofía and Mateo: Spanish as it's spoken in Latin America, for the big trip and for life. • French with Léa and Hugo: the French of France, for real life and family. • Russian with Anya and Misha: real-life Russian, every word also written in letters you can read. Want to learn Hebrew from zero, learn Spanish for travel, or learn French or Russian? Same method in every language. Why Yalla? • A teacher who talks with you: real conversation, out loud, from the first lesson, in real situations: the café, work, the market, travel. • Letters you can read: Hebrew, Arabic and Russian words also come written in letters you already know, so you read and say them from day one. • In your language: every explanation, hint and correction in English, Hebrew or Arabic, no translation in between. • A few minutes a day: short lessons, a path built around you, and review right before you forget. • Open conversation: pick a topic or spin the wheel, and just talk. What you'll be able to do: • Order, ask and get by on your own, at home and abroad • Understand and answer without translating in your head • Slang and phrases people really use • Speak even while you still make mistakes Start with a free trial.
