Yallingo Join the waitlist

Speak Emirati.
Not textbook Arabic.

Yallingo teaches the Arabic people actually speak in the UAE, explained in the language you think in. Five minutes a day, on your phone.

Free to join. We email you when Yallingo opens, and nothing else.

Greeting a colleague

شحالك؟

Shahalak?

How are you?

Other apps teach the Arabic of news broadcasts. The UAE speaks something else.

What the textbook teaches

كيف حالك؟

Kayfa haluk?

What your colleague says

شحالك؟

Shahalak?

Both mean "how are you?". Only one of them sounds like you live here.

Every lesson ends with you speaking

  1. Learn

    A handful of new words, each with audio, Arabic script and an easy-to-read spelling.

  2. Practise

    Say them out loud until they stop feeling strange.

  3. Quiz

    Quick questions to check what stayed in your head.

  4. Pronounce

    Speak into your phone and hear what to fix.

  5. Talk

    Use the same words in a short chat with Saqr, our falcon.

Made for the places you need it

In the taxi. At the baqala. At the typing centre. In the office kitchen. On the phone with your landlord. At a friend's majlis.

Explained in the language you think in

Pick your language once. Every word, tip and correction arrives in it.
