Kalam helped me become more confident in speaking arabic, I had just got engaged to my fiancé and she spoke better arabic than me, with Kalam app’s help, I was able to match her arabic within a couple of weeks! Thank you Kalam, I highly recommend people to try it out

So, it’s okay if you’re only using the “free talk” section and already know how to read and type in Arabic. The speaking option and tests don’t work. If you click on a test and try to use the microphone, it locks and doesn’t let you go on to the next question or record anything you say. I’m also not confident that the dialects are fully using words from those dialects rather than mostly utilizing fusha (MSA). If they are, they’re specific regional dialects within the country. I think a good update to the app would be to select regional dialects within the country (North vs South) since there are some pretty big differences there. It’s quite similar to just speaking to a chatbot in Modern Standard Arabic. If they could hire different people that already speak the dialects I think there could be some good improvements. Great idea overall, just needs some work

I really enjoy the app but it’s kind of confusing to operate. For example when I’m trying to do the “free talk” to practice having a conversation, the mic doesn’t work and I definitely don’t know how to type in Arabic to respond. The free talk doesn’t seem to record. Also I did two courses where I saw a video, did the drill and also the quiz but there’s no way I can review those specific words I used and apply it without going back to the drill. It was also kind of discouraging when my Iraqi husband heard the new words I learned join just for him to correct me.. it’s like I’m learning a whole different Iraqi dialect :( also I want to learn the basics of conversation and they don’t seem to have that. Just random words and conversations thrown at you

Im Lebanese and I’ve been trying to learn specifically the Lebanese dialect to talk to my family. Duolingo, mondly, jumpspeak, all those other apps teach the formal arabic. And they teach useless info. Kalam is the first app I’ve seen where you can choose a specific dialect, and that has so many options of topics to learn. However, it’s all speaking. There’s no deep dive into the letters and how to read and write. So if you’re looking to learn how to speak, this app is great. But if you want to become literate in arabic, this app will not do that. But again, I love this app for its uses and options of topics and dialects!
