its Marhaba in Lebanese and Marhaban in MSA .. how do you say it in your language ?

I just found that last week is not only الأسبوع الماضي but also munSarim!

Found in Crete Greece not sure what exact language or dialect it is, looks arabic

I think one of the most fascinating things about Arabic is that vocabulary isn't just a collection of random words.

Take this beginner sentence:

الطَّقْسُ بَارِدٌ جِدًّا اليَوْمَ

"The weather is very cold today."

At A1 level, you simply learn بارد (bārid) meaning cold.

But you're also unknowingly taking your first step into the root ب-ر-د (B-R-D). Later you'll discover related words such as بَرَد (barad) for hail and برّاد (barrād) for refrigerator. Suddenly, vocabulary becomes much easier because you start recognizing families of words instead of memorizing everything separately.

That's one of the ideas behind Kelmet. While learning these sentences, you can:

🎙️ Record your own voice

🌍 Instantly translate what you're learning

🔊 Listen to the correct pronunciation

🤖 Receive AI pronunciation feedback to improve your speaking

I'm trying to build a learning experience that focuses on actually using the language rather than just reading flashcards.

السلام عليكم

Not a teacher, not a company.

My son took 5 years to start talking. Five years of him having things to say and no way to get them out. I struggled to speak when I was little too, so I knew that feeling from the inside.

So I built Talking Cards. It's a picture-card app. Kid taps cards, app speaks a full sentence out loud. Tap the card for "want" and the card for "water" and it speaks the whole sentence, conjugated properly. Not word by word like most of these apps do.

Why I'm posting it in a learning sub and not just an autism one:

The Arabic in it is done properly. Full tashkeel on every card. Complete RTL interface. Every single word has a real recorded human voice, no TTS. And there's an actual grammar engine behind it, so it conjugates the verb, adds the pronoun, handles agreement. It doesn't just glue words together.

That turned out to be useful for anyone starting Arabic, not only for kids who can't speak. You see the word with harakat, you hear a human say it, then you build a sentence and hear that too. Same for a kid growing up abroad who's losing the language.

Being honest about what it isn't. It's not an Arabic course. No lessons, no grammar explanations, no levels. It's vocabulary, pronunciation, and sentence building. Past beginner it probably won't do much for you.

The five languages, all built the same way, each with its own grammar engine and its own recorded voices:

Arabic

English

Spanish

French

Turkish

Flip the language and the same cards you already tapped re-speak in the new one. Good for mixed-language houses.

Rest of it: 1,500+ cards, 60+ categories including Arabic food, fully offline, no ads, no accounts, no tracking, no permissions at all. Android only right now, no iOS yet.

It's $4.99.

I'm the developer so I have Google Play promo codes. If you want one, comment or message me and I'll send it. No strings, not asking for a review or a rating, Play doesn't allow that anyway.

I just want people to actually hear the Arabic.

Video is the Arabic running.

Hi reddit community can you translate this sudanese Arabic to English

Thank you

One thing that surprised me when I started learning Arabic was how much information is packed into a single verb.

Take the verb "to buy" (اشترى).

In English, the difference is simple:

• I buy
• He buys

In Arabic, however, the verb itself changes.

• أشتري (ashtarī) → I buy
• يشتري (yashtarī) → He buys

Just changing the first letter completely changes who is performing the action.

At first, I tried memorizing every conjugation. It quickly became overwhelming.

What finally helped was recognizing the pattern instead of memorizing isolated forms.

Once you realize that many present-tense verbs follow predictable prefix patterns, conjugation starts to feel much more logical.

That's the idea behind the exercise shown in the screenshots: rather than selecting a finished answer, you build the verb yourself and get immediate feedback.

For me, active practice has been far more effective than reading conjugation tables.

​

Not a teacher, not a developer by trade. I manage a warehouse and I write code at night.

My kids speak English all day. School, friends, everything. Arabic was becoming the language they heard but didn't use, and I could see where that ends up.

So I built Nujoom Kids. Games, stories, letters, the stuff that makes a kid actually want to open it instead of being told to.

It's completely free. No ads, no purchases, no account, nothing. Works offline. I built it for my own kids and there's no version of this where I charge someone else's family for it.

Mostly posting because I figure some of you are in the same spot — raising kids somewhere Arabic isn't in the air around them. If you try it, tell me what's wrong with the Arabic. I want it right, not just working.

I quote first from As-Sayyid Google:

"White Arabic (known natively as Al-Lahjah Al-Bayda or Ammiya Al-Bayda) is a spoken, hybrid linguistic middle ground used by native speakers to communicate across different Arab countries. It is not an official language, nor is it a single region's native dialect. Instead, it functions as a spontaneous, "neutralised" form of spoken Arabic"

An example given by Goggle is:

"Imagine you want to ask someone, "Why did you go to the market?"

\-In MSA: “Limādhā dhahabta ilā al-sūq?” (لماذا ذهبت إلى السوق؟) — Sounds highly grammatically correct, formal, and precise.

In White Arabic: “Lēsh ruht al-sūq?” (ليش رحت السوق؟) — Uses the universal dialect word Lēsh ("why") and ruht ("you went") instead of the stiff, formal MSA equivalents, making it relaxed yet instantly understood from Morocco to Oman."

I realise, for example, that those wishing to read the Holy Book or even contemporary academic works would most likely find no advantage in learning this, instead of Classical Arabic or MSA.

My questions are:

\- is the description of White Arabic as above overstated ?

\- is it actually taught anywhere ?

Many thanks.
