Tfaddalu: Palestinian Arabic

Learn spoken Levantine dialect

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

You grew up around Palestinian Arabic. You understand more of it than you can speak. You follow the conversation at the table, you catch the jokes, but when it's your turn to answer, the words stay just out of reach. That gap is what Tfaddalu is built for. Tfaddalu teaches spoken Palestinian Arabic: the everyday dialect people use in Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Bethlehem, at home and in the street. Not the formal Modern Standard Arabic of textbooks and the news. This is the version where you order 'ahwe, not qahwa, and greet people the way your own relatives do. Every word comes with audio, so you learn how it really sounds and then practice saying it back. Lessons are short and built around real moments you'll recognize: meeting people, ordering coffee, family, getting around town. As you go, the app brings each word back for review right before you'd forget it, so what you learn moves into long-term memory instead of fading after a week. What's inside: - Spoken Palestinian dialect, taught the way it's really said - Audio on every word, so pronunciation comes from your ear, not a spelling on the page - Short lessons built around real moments: greetings, coffee, family, directions - Review that resurfaces each word right before you'd forget it - Understanding a word and saying it practiced separately, because they're two different skills Palestinian Arabic belongs to the wider Levantine (Shami) family, so the dialect you build here carries you across the region too, from Jordan to Lebanon. This is for anyone who'd rather speak the everyday, conversational dialect than read formal Arabic. People with Palestinian roots who want to talk with family again. Partners marrying into a Palestinian or Levantine family. Travelers heading to Palestine or Jordan. Learners who started Modern Standard Arabic and found it sounded nothing like the people they wanted to talk to. You don't need any Arabic to begin, and you don't need to read the script. Everything is written so you can hear it, say it, and understand it from your first lesson. "Tfaddalu" is what you say to welcome someone in. Please. Come. Help yourself. It's an invitation. So, tfaddalu. Terms of Use: https://tfaddalu.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://tfaddalu.com/privacy
