Asla

Read full description

Learn spoken Arabic — the real thing, the everyday Arabic people actually speak at home and on the street, not the Modern Standard Arabic of textbooks. Asla teaches you the dialect your family understands: colloquial, everyday Arabic, not formal MSA. MANY DIALECTS — YOURS IS ALREADY HERE Asla covers several Arabic dialects, and they're all in the app: • Tunisian Arabic — the most complete, the ideal place to start • Levantine Arabic (Lebanese) • Moroccan Arabic (Darija) • Algerian Arabic Pick the one that's yours: your family's dialect, your country of origin, or the region you care about. One app, real spoken Arabic — not a school subject. NO ARABIC SCRIPT NEEDED You start without learning the letters. Every word and sentence is written in Latin transliteration (Arabic transliteration / phonetic Arabic), so you read and speak from minute one. The Arabic alphabet can come later, if you ever want it. WHAT'S INSIDE ASLA • Flashcards with spaced repetition: review at the right moment and remember for the long run • Native pronunciation: every word spoken by real voices, not robotic text-to-speech • Useful example sentences: everyday Arabic you can reuse right away • Transliteration on everything: spoken Arabic without the script, start to finish • Multiple dialects in one app: Tunisian, Levantine, Moroccan, Algerian WHO IT'S FOR • The diaspora reconnecting with their heritage and the language of their family • People who understand a little but don't dare to speak • Complete beginners who want something usable, not abstract grammar • Travelers who want the real dialect, not Standard Arabic WHY DIALECT, NOT STANDARD ARABIC The Arabic taught in schools (Modern Standard Arabic / MSA) is almost never the Arabic people speak. Nobody orders a coffee in MSA. Asla teaches you the living language directly — spoken Arabic, colloquial Arabic, everyday Arabic — so you understand and get understood. Reconnect with your heritage, one card at a time. Download Asla and start speaking your dialect today. getasla.com
