For a different method of learning Arabic (or several other languages), check out https://www.languagetransfer.org. It teaches Egyptian Arabic, explaining that the entire region knows this dialect because Egypt is the TV and movie hub of the Arabic world.

It's all audio (MP3s or streaming) and completely free, and (IMHO) the best language learning system out there. I have used it to learn Spanish, my sixth language and can't recommend it highly enough.

  Same here. Language Transfer helped me pick up so many languages in a short time easily.

  Far better than every other tool I’ve tried from Duolingo, Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone etc.

Nice work.

As others mentioned, I couldn't hear the sound.

There is a dire need for a good quality arabic learning app.

It doesn't make any sound when I click the speaker icon. What's wrong with this?

Arabic language learning resources are few and far between. Thank you for building this. Do you know which Arabic this teaches? Koranic? Modern Standard? Levantine? Gulf?

  At least the videos sound Levantine

    I was unable to listen because I'm at the airport but I was really curious. Thank you!

Saw a couple of words that (as far as I know) aren't "modern standard Arabic" is there any bias towards a dialect or another?

Are the vocalisations of the letters synthetic?

Edit: If I wasn't acquainted with arabic script I'd probably not be able to make out the difference in vocalisation between some letters.
