Good work. I think you will need to add to the website that you mean Egyptian Arabic dialect. Also on safari mobile there is problem rendering the word character during writing.

I couldn't find stories other than omar's. Is there more or this just what is available now?

Also if you are using Franco in the sentence view, I would suggest defining the alphabetical definition of characters because they are not standard there. Specially outside Egyptian arabic.

Wicked cool! I like this format of practice. Just found a small bug though. The click-to-translate for a given word seems to miss the target of click somewhere. It's translating عُمَر and سَارة as listen (and in the latter case the click gets `وسَارة` instead of just سَارة.)

Ah, "Listen" is actually a button you can click to hear the audio. Only keywords (those highlighted) actually have the translation included.

ohhh haha. I just realized that. I clicked on madina first so when I clicked elsewhere I assumed it was the same element and I didn't notice the style difference. User error!

Thanks for the feedback, definitely need to polish the mobile experience. And yeah as of now just the one story as a POC, I plan on adding more in the future.

I like the format but these seem grammatically incorrect written down in arabic, e.g. missing articles etc, I guess you're going for street Arabic but you should have it in fusha, it's easier to go other way around

Ah yeah I should specify this is in the egyptian dialect
