Questions

Good to know

All questions
What happens in the 20-minute talk?

You meet a teacher we picked from your answers. You talk about your goals, see the classroom and the app, and decide in your own time.

Which languages are lessons taught in?

English, French, Spanish, German and Italian. Darija is what you learn, your language is how you learn it.

Can I work with more than one teacher?

Yes. All your teachers see the same learning record, so each lesson picks up where you are.

Should I learn Modern Standard Arabic first?

Start straight with Darija, the language Moroccans speak every day. Your teacher builds on the words you already know.

Does the app work offline?

Yes. Your cards and audio travel with you and sync once you are back online.

Do I need to read Arabic script?

Every word comes in Arabic script and in Latin letters, with audio. Start with what feels comfortable.
