    Best Levantine App

    This app is literally so good. I HIGHLY recommend paying for the full version too, literally only $10 and it gives you so much more access. It gives you the plurals for verbs and some nouns, and in their recent update it breaks down and shows which words belong to which dialect. Native speakers can also add to it helping increase its dictionary. I can’t even explain all the benefits this app has in one message. It even offers an insanely useful phrasebook with practice sentences and story resources that are beneficial for listening and reading. I’m literally in love with this app and have been using it since December 2023.More

    Hats off to the creators of this app!!

    Wow, finally a fantastic resource for the Levantine dialect! I’ve been trying to learn spoken Lebanese for years. This is SO helpful and well done.

    Perfect for learning Levantine Arabic

    This is a great app for learning how to speak Levantine Arabic. Thank you devs.

    So many resources in one!

    I’ve been trying to learn Levantine Arabic for months and until I found this app, I’ve had to study from so many different sources — Preply, Mango, Duolingo, YouTube, Alif — just to name a few. And they were all missing things I needed. But this app gives you all the tools you could need for learning the language! I love it, and considering a physical Levantine dictionary would have cost me $30, getting the full version of this app for $9.99 is a steal! I especially love the newer feature ‘Resources’ that introduces stories and practice conversations.More

    Well designed & no-nonsense app for everyday practice

    I have been looking for a daily learning resource for the levantine dialect for a while and Learn Levantine Arabic does not disappoint. The design is minimalist and beautiful, which makes it easy to focus on the learning process. With regard to the contents, I look forward to future updates! My only suggestion would be to add a user dictionary that can be edited via the browser and added to the flash cards. I purchased the full version, which is the best choice if you want to use it for your studies. It’s priced very fair for the amount of resources it provides.More

    Keeping up with Levantine

    I forgot how I found out about this app but it’s all I can ask and more to refresh my memory when it comes to words in Levantine. Also, it’s the first dictionary EVER which allows you to add new words, which I do constantly. I work and interact with people from Syria to Lebanon to Egypt and so many have different ways to say the same expression, and I need to record all of these for research purposes. Thanks Timothy for the quick responses and for being so helpful. Great app.More
