Ratings and reviews

It's good on basics. But I think there could be some 2 stage and 3 stage verses. With connecting and pronouncing some more words all together. Like a challenge mode to combine words acutely. For proper communication. I really enjoy the app. The translation and the pronouncing of the word greatly help. Thank you so much.

I wanted to learn Arabic and not to participate in Iraq invasion, why is almost everything based on military phrases in this application? It's sad because the app is actually pretty good but it reflects the stupid circumstances in Iraq caused by the US...

this app not bad for learning some Iraqi language. you need more update it.
