You grew up around Palestinian Arabic. You understand more of it than you can speak. You follow the conversation at the table, you catch the jokes, but when it's your turn to answer, the words stay just out of reach. That gap is what Tfaddalu is built for. Tfaddalu teaches spoken Palestinian Arabic: the everyday dialect people use in Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Bethlehem, at home and in the street. Not the formal Modern Standard Arabic of textbooks and the news. This is the version where you order 'ahwe, not qahwa, and greet people the way your own relatives do. Every word comes with audio, so you learn how it really sounds and then practice saying it back. Lessons are short and built around real moments you'll recognize: meeting people, ordering coffee, family, getting around town. As you go, the app brings each word back for review right before you'd forget it, so what you learn moves into long-term memory instead of fading after a week. What's inside: - Spoken Palestinian dialect, taught the way it's really said - Audio on every word, so pronunciation comes from your ear, not a spelling on the page - Short lessons built around real moments: greetings, coffee, family, directions - Review that resurfaces each word right before you'd forget it - Understanding a word and saying it practiced separately, because they're two different skills Palestinian Arabic belongs to the wider Levantine (Shami) family, so the dialect you build here carries you across the region too, from Jordan to Lebanon. This is for anyone who'd rather speak the everyday, conversational dialect than read formal Arabic. People with Palestinian roots who want to talk with family again. Partners marrying into a Palestinian or Levantine family. Travelers heading to Palestine or Jordan. Learners who started Modern Standard Arabic and found it sounded nothing like the people they wanted to talk to. You don't need any Arabic to begin, and you don't need to read the script. Everything is written so you can hear it, say it, and understand it from your first lesson. "Tfaddalu" is what you say to welcome someone in. Please. Come. Help yourself. It's an invitation. So, tfaddalu. Tfaddalu is available in 15 languages: English, German, Russian, Hebrew, Dutch, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Ukrainian. Pick one and the word meanings and example sentences switch with it. The app starts in your phone's language, and you can change it under App language in Settings.

ChantCode helps children build multiplication automaticity through rhythmic multiplication chants and focused recall practice. Instead of repeatedly calculating each multiplication fact, children learn to connect the equation directly with a short, memorable spoken pattern. How ChantCode works • Listen to rhythmic multiplication chants • Repeat and memorize multiplication facts • Practice rapid question-and-answer recall • Reinforce learning through interactive challenges • Progress from individual times tables to mixed multiplication practice ChantCode organizes the multiplication facts from 2 × 2 through 9 × 9 into 36 unique core chants by avoiding reversed duplicates. Groups 1 and 10 provide foundation practice. Version 2.7 includes the complete learning experience for everyone at no additional cost: Groups 1–10, all 36 core chants, group activities, multiplication audio and music, mixed tower challenges, the ChantCode Book, Parent Guide, and progress tools. Families are encouraged to begin with Groups 6 and 7, where many children need extra confidence, then continue in order from Group 2 through Group 9. ChantCode requires no account, contains no advertising, and stores learning progress locally on the device.
