You're closer than you think.

✨ AI detected Algerian Darija → Mapped to Gulf Arabic equivalent
Three reasons this isn't Duolingo
Dialect Bridge
Type or speak in your Darija — Algerian, Moroccan, Tunisian — and instantly see the Gulf equivalent. The AI understands your native dialect and gently guides you to Gulf Arabic without making you feel wrong.
Hands-Free Dialogue
Practice ordering food, hailing a taxi, or a business meeting — all by voice. The AI plays the other role, corrects you in real-time, and keeps the conversation flowing. Designed for your commute.
Root-Based Vocabulary
One root, up to ten words. Master 300 Arabic roots and unlock thousands of words. Learn how كتب (k-t-b) generates kitāb, maktab, kātib, and more — no flashcards needed.
Made for people like us
Born in France, raised between two cultures, speaking Darija at home and French at school — then moving to the Gulf and realising your Arabic doesn't quite work? You're not alone. Lisan was built by someone with the exact same story.
