Parallel Arabic vs Takalamu

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.

Takalamu is a method for learning Modern Standard Arabic (fusha), built for learners who want to understand what they read and express themselves in daily life: greeting, introducing yourself, talking about your family, then moving into the vocabulary of prayer and the Quran. A JOURNEY IN 5 CIRCLES From the most personal to the most spiritual: - Me: introduce yourself, express your feelings, talk about your day - My family: loved ones, the home, daily life - People: the market, the restaurant, asking for directions, traveling - The community: congratulating, comforting, celebrations, culture - Faith: the pillars of Islam, invocations, the foundations to understand the Quran 90 structured lessons, more than 620 fully vowelized words and a 22-theme vocabulary library, from numbers to the beautiful names of Allah. A 3-STEP METHOD 1. Learn with real everyday dialogues, fully vowelized (complete tashkil): you read correctly from day one. 2. Practice with 6 varied exercises: quiz, matching grid, sentence building, FlashSwipe and more. 3. Remember for good: the spaced repetition algorithm (SRS) brings each word back right before you forget it. EVERYTHING YOU NEED - Complete tashkil on every word, with transliteration and translation - Audio for dialogues, words and phrases - Root exploration: see how a root like س ل م connects salam and islam - Phrasebook: useful phrases unlock as you progress - Weekly challenge: listen, answer the quiz and climb the leaderboard - Resume mode: a targeted refresher when you come back after a break - Detailed tracking: day streaks, mastery rate, progress per circle - Your progress syncs automatically across your devices WHO IS IT FOR? The only prerequisite: being able to decipher the Arabic alphabet, even slowly. If you learned to read with the Quran, you are exactly in the right place. Takalamu is for you if you are starting from zero, if you read the Quran without understanding it, if you speak a dialect but not fusha, or if you already tried to learn and gave up along the way. Takalamu does not replace a teacher: it is the first step. You build your foundation (vocabulary, fluent reading, basic structures) at your own pace, so you can later approach a class or a conversation with solid ground under your feet. FREE TO TRY, THEN PREMIUM Create a free account: the first lessons and part of the vocabulary are open so you can get a real feel for the method. The Takalamu Premium subscription then unlocks the whole journey: all 5 circles, the 90 lessons and the full vocabulary library.
