Arabius: Learn Saudi Arabic

More About Arabius: Learn Saudi Arabic
A revolutionary language learning methodology developed for our clients at our center in Riyadh. Rather than focusing on memorization and speaking, we focus first on simply understanding and interacting with words through fun and exciting games. Languages are not memorized, they are acquired naturally. No studying or memorizing required. Just play the games and you will start to understand basic words and sentences quicker than you ever thought possible.
WHY DO YOU FOCUS ON SAUDI ARABIC?
First of all, because we love Saudi! But also because Saudi Arabic is what people actually speak in daily life in KSA. Modern Standard Arabic is a beautiful and important language, but our focus is on helping you in real communication in daily life.Within a few sessions in our app, you will know common greetings and responses. And with a few more, you will be hearing and arranging complete sentences in Saudi Arabic
HOW IS ARABIUS BETTER?
Other language-learning apps are focused on either getting you hooked rather than actual learning OR rote memorization. Instead we focus on teaching you new words in an intuitive way. Rather than focusing on speaking, we focus on teaching you to understand many words at once. We use recordings of native speakers rather than computer generated sounds so you can hear all the nuances of the language. We NEVER use English to teach Arabic! Translation methodologies do not work. Rather we use pictures to encourage your brain to associate the object with the sound of the new word.
KEY APP FEATURES:
MINI SESSIONS
After completing specified milestones, you will be able to pay (or use a coupon code) to attend a mini session! These are live video sessions with a native speaker for 30 minutes to practice your language skills. Sometimes, these mini sessions will be content reviews. Other times, there will be new content, specific to the mini sessions, that you will learn in your live session. This feature makes the Arabius App extremely unique from other language-learning apps. The ability to connect with a live, native speaker is a guarantee that your language is progressing, and is a goal to strive towards!
CULTURE CARDS
As you venture through the sessions, you will earn golden dates as a reward for your efforts! These can be cashed in at our store for unique culture cards on interesting cultural topics (such as Arabic coffee!)
TOUR SAUDI
Since the Arabius App is entirely focused on Saudi Language and Culture, you will be traveling virtually through various regions of the country! Enjoy all the distinct aspects of Saudi Arabic learning language and culture as you visit the country virtually!
LEARNING STYLE
While the instructional language of the app is English, when it comes to teaching Arabic, you will find that no English is used! Everything is following our immersive methodology. Users will match sounds they hear to images they see, focusing on hearing and speaking first, and reading later. This allows for faster learning as it follows a more natural immersion style. It also allows for you to learn and understand unique words for foods, drinks, phrases, and items that are common in Saudi, but don’t always have a clear translation.
SPACED REPETITION WORD STRENGTHENING
By strategically selecting when and how words are reviewed, repetition is minimized and language-learning speed remains efficient and effective.

I am an Ajmi (non-Arab) from Pakistan. I am new here to discover all beauty of Saudi Arabia. Since, Arabic is not my mother language, I speak Urdu and English, this "Arabius" app is a true guide to know something about everything, right before we intend to visit anywhere. Moreover, the facility to learn Arabic free of cost from Arabius Centre near our location in Saudi Arabia, is really a great initiative. Arabius, in short, teaches us when, where, how, with whom, we have to talk.❤️

I saw there was an update so I updated the app in hopes of finding something more but now the app crashes when I try to open it. Tried restarting my phone but it didn't work. Installed on my wife's phone, won't open. Tried an older phone without update, but to continue, it required an update. Now it won't open on that phone, either.

Good thought to teach with image and pronunciation. But App is stuck and not moving after 3rd step in first lesson. Missing words in arabic other pronunciation which will help to practice reading. No option to go back and once exited forcing to start learning from beginning again instead continuing where we left.

One of very few apps that teaches Saudi dialect Arabic. It has helped greatly with learning. The design is great and it makes learning enjoyable. The only suggestion to make it better would be to add speaking practice.

It's very good aap for learning arabic. But it's moves very slow even I put on fast mode also it's very slow moving. So I can't complete my course fast. Please modify is to fast moving the course . . My suggestion is each word when it's pronounced should be it appear in written form also.. This aap is very useful for us. It's an innovative, very good, easyway, funway for learning Arabic language. Thanking you sir💐💐🤝🤝

The app is very simple not that confusing to navigate. I just hope that the app provides English translation for all the words and sentences that is being taught and by syllables of correct pronunciation not just pictures since the very idea of adding visuals to it can sometimes can't be delivered if one is really determined to learn arabic.

It's a well designed learning app that teaches a language using the "comprehensible input" approach. If anyone from the team is reading it, did you know that the sound files don't load on certain exercises or load only partially? But it's just a glitch, surely can be fixed. Overall a great free tool that teaches you the foundation of Arabic.

The app haptic responses are terrible. I thought it was because the app works with internet, but even with a lesson already loaded, I have to tap repeatedly until it marks what I'm selecting. You can't answer while the audio is playing. So, if I know the answer and want to choose the correct option to move on and "strengthen" my "knowledge" quickly, I can't do it. Also, without script from the beginning, I can't tell if I'm not reinforcing what I think I hear instead of what it actually is.

Everything was going fine, but now I am stuck in level 7 because the screen is not loading for 3 days. The previous levels are working fine, but the images are not loading as for level 7 nothing is loading. I am unable to proceed further with my lessons. Overall, it is a great app. I just need the bug to be fixed, please! Thank you very much!

A few bugs like missing or cut off audio (happens every single time), missing (black rectangle) images. I'm in the 2nd region, 79 lessons completed, this app devolves into flashcard-like experience. You mostly pick one image representing what the audio says. Very limited use of sentences so far. I wish it taught how to form sentences 90% of the time instead. Some pictures are straight up confusing. Nice graphics though. Will keep using. Speaker and app seem to slightly speed up with time (good)

Excellent app for learning arabic dialects with some limitation. It focuses mainly on listening skills and slightly on speaking. But it completely ignores reading and writing skills. It would be far better if users are given option not only to see and listen but also to read the words and sentences. Thanks.

Possibly the best Arabic learning app. The pronouncing of the words is CRAZY ACCURATE to the local pronunciation of words in Saudi Arabia. The voice is very clear which makes it easier to remember the words. The way it's set up is very unique and creative. I use Duolingo and other apps for Arabic but this app tops all of them. It has everything you need and not only is it very effective for learning Arabic; but it makes you enjoy it. 5 stars is an understatement to this piece of gold

The app is very interesting and cool. I haven't encountered any ads so far. However, I have one big problem. Whenever I open the app, it loads my experience, and then I see a huge chunk of mobile data being gone. It is a big problem for me as mobile data is not cheap. So, I think it would be a lot better if the app was more offline. if not, then atleast don't take away my data by loading my experience. If this goes on then I don't think It would be easy for me to learn Arabic. Please Fix it❤️

As-Salaamu Alaykum, I really enjoy using this app! It has helped me learn Arabic so quickly, and the self-testing feature gives me a sense of accomplishment as I can clearly see my progress. I also appreciate that there are no ads or distractions, which makes for a smooth learning experience. However, I do have one suggestion. While the pictures help to understand the meaning of words, sometimes the lack of an English translation next to them can be a bit confusing. It would be great if there.

A very charming app, the designs are great and the games can be unique and interesting. However, the lack of a dark mode feature really hurts it. Also, I wish there was an option to start with a placement test so you don't have to go through levels that are extremely easy because due to the app's nature, it's a very slow process. This app is great and you'll rarely find content that teaches you the same things, let alone with the same quality.

this app is great!! a couple suggestions: I would really like to be able to have a few more features in the "strengthen" tab. I'd like to be able to mark words that I don't need more practice with, and the ones I do. I'd like to be able to see the Arabic spelling for the ones I'm not hearing properly. additionally, the general form of the verb compared to the "I" form of the verb is not clear and it's difficult to differentiate when reviewing.

The app isn't using my speaker, forcing me to hold it up to my ear. Obviously that makes it very difficult to use. Please advise. Thanks. edit: restarting my phone fixed the problem. I'll leave a 5 star until I've had achance to really dig into the app. Thanks for creating it. I'm traveling to the Kingdom in the fall and think this will be a huge help for my trip.

Was loving the app and the content, since the new update went into effect the app keeps freezing on me and not loading properly during lessons. On a separate note, during the cultural cards I don't see all of the text and when I try to scroll it moves to the next slide without finishing the one I was trying to complete.

Arabius is an excellent tool for learning Saudi Arabic, but it has room for growth to better serve its users. One significant area for improvement is language customization. Many users may not be native English speakers, and having the option to change the app’s language to something more familiar—like Spanish or French—would make the platform more accessible to a global audience.Another issue is the recurring disconnect notification. Even when connected to Wi-Fi, it frequently displays offline

Absolutely beautiful app. Immersive. Chock-full of little details that make this a work of art! And effective. The voice speed adjustment is great. There are haptic hiccups, but it's manageable. An invitation to slow down maybe? Live at the pace of the desert 🏜️ and you'll be fine :) Would love the ability to review each lesson after the fact with the writing and translation, to be sure I got the meaning right, and improve my reading. Maybe it occurs later in the app...
