Nice work.
As others mentioned, I couldn't hear the sound.
There is a dire need for a good quality arabic learning app.

#12For a different method of learning Arabic (or several other languages), check out https://www.languagetransfer.org . It teaches Egyptian Arabic, explaining that the entire region knows this dialect because Egypt is the TV and movie hub of the Arabic world. It's all audio (MP3s or streaming) and completely free, and (IMHO) the best language learning system out there. I have used it to learn Spanish, my sixth language…

I suspect this is actively changing and in another generation or so won’t be true. All major TV, movies and music production has migrated to the Arab oil states since the late 2000s and accelerated in the 2010s. Today all major media production companies are based in the Gulf states.

Kind of crazy that it has Swahili but not Portuguese.

You got me started on learning Spanish there. So far so good.

#17Arabic language learning resources are few and far between. Thank you for building this. Do you know which Arabic this teaches? Koranic? Modern Standard? Levantine? Gulf?
It teaches all types of Arabic. The stories are written in Modern Standard Arabic, and videos are categorized by dialect.

#19Saw a couple of words that (as far as I know) aren't "modern standard Arabic" is there any bias towards a dialect or another?
