What our users say

After only a day, I love Parallel Arabic. As a language teacher — I teach French at a huge public high school in Southern California — and an absolute language nut who speaks seven other languages besides Arabic, I can tell how much thought went into this.
Wow this is perfect for what I need currently. The stories section in particular is a great idea as I can't find any graded stories for practice. Thank you so much for this :)
This is great! As someone outgrowing Duolingo this is perfect.
I love it! This is something I have been searching for ages :) thank you so much
Have tried many of the 'apps' and this is the closest one to doing what I want! Very useful and comprehensive app, everything's very useful — I love the interlinear format for the stories.
Even though I'm a beginner, your AI is the best I've tried among all the apps! The others are always weird in their answers and pronounce the words weirdly.
Stories UI is really good! The large, readable font, easy switching of transliteration and English, and interactive click-to-define are all really excellent.
I really like the website and find it very useful. For me it's better than a lot of other platforms — it's well thought out and has a lot of features.
