Built for the Arabic spoken in Lebanon

Lebanese first.

Everything is taught the Lebanese way, as people say it at home. Every word and sentence you practice is recorded by Rami and Andie, two Lebanese teachers, one by one. When you repeat, you're copying a real Lebanese voice.

And it doesn't stop at Lebanon. Lebanese is understood across the Levant: in Syria, Jordan and Palestine.

Made by a student and her teachers

Patricia wanted to speak Lebanese with her in-laws and couldn't find an app that taught it. She started taking lessons with Andie and Rami from The Lebanese Couple, and we decided to build the app together.

Between them, Rami and Andie have taught Lebanese for 10 years. The app follows the curriculum they built themselves from that experience.

Every word and every sentence you practice is recorded by Rami and Andie themselves, one by one. When you listen and repeat, you're copying a real Lebanese voice.

Questions about learning Lebanese Arabic

Is this Levantine or Modern Standard Arabic?

It's built for Lebanese, the dialect people speak at home in Lebanon. Where a word is shared with Levantine or Standard Arabic you'll meet it too, always said the Lebanese way.

Will people understand me outside Lebanon?

Yes. Lebanese is one of the Levantine dialects, so people understand it in Syria, Jordan and Palestine. You'll speak with a Lebanese accent, and people will hear it.

Do I need to read Arabic?

No. Every word is written in Latin letters the way Lebanese people text, with numbers for the sounds English doesn't have: 7, 3, 2. The Arabic script is there too if you want it.

I'm a complete beginner. Is that OK?

Yes. Guided lessons take you from your first word, one step at a time.

I know Standard Arabic. Will this help?

Yes. Lebanese is what people actually speak in Lebanon, so it helps you talk with locals and fit right in. You'll see quickly how it differs, and you can go straight to the topics, phrases and verbs you need.

I already take lessons. Is this for me?

Yes. Import your lessons, review them, and turn them into flashcards. Spaced repetition is the scientifically proven method for long-term memory. You can also go further and learn vocabulary you might not see in class.

How does the app help me remember words?

With flashcards on spaced repetition. Each word comes back just before you'd forget it, and the ones you miss come back sooner. It's the method memory research backs for remembering long term.

Can I use my own flashcards?

Yes. Import your Anki decks and review them on the same schedule as the words you learn in the app.

Are the voices AI?

No. Rami and Andie are two Lebanese teachers. They record every word and every sentence of the lessons and vocabulary topics themselves, so you always practice with a native speaker.

Which languages can I learn from?

English and French. Spanish and Portuguese are in beta.

Is it free?

Yes. There's plenty you can do for free. Paid plans unlock the rest.
