Parallel Arabic vs Mashi

Most Arabic apps teach the formal language that almost nobody speaks at home or on the street. Parallel Arabic teaches the Arabic people actually use: Egyptian, Levantine and Moroccan Darija, plus Modern Standard Arabic. Pick your dialect and start speaking from the first lesson. SPEAK FROM DAY ONE Practise real conversations with the AI Tutor in your dialect. Say it out loud, get scored on your pronunciation, and try again until it sounds right. READ IN PARALLEL Every story and lesson shows Arabic script, transliteration and English side by side, so you can follow along whether or not you can read Arabic yet. Tap any word for its meaning, audio and example sentences. A CLEAR PATH Follow step-by-step lessons from the alphabet upwards, or create your own lessons, stories and practice sentences on any topic you care about. GAMES THAT MAKE WORDS STICK Short rounds for vocabulary, letters and listening: Word Scramble, Odd One Out, Memory Pairs, Speed Round and more, with a fresh daily challenge. NEVER FORGET A WORD Save words as you go. Spaced repetition brings each one back just before you would forget it, in new sentences and stories, not the same flashcard every time. COMPARE DIALECTS See how the same word or phrase changes between Cairo, Beirut, Casablanca and the newsroom. STAY ON TRACK Daily streaks, reminders, a weekly leaderboard, and a vocabulary map that grows with every word you learn.
