For 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 and can't recommend it highly enough.

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.
Arabic 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?

You got me started on learning Spanish there. So far so good.
Kind of crazy that it has Swahili but not Portuguese.
Same here. Language Transfer helped me pick up so many languages in a short time easily.
Far better than every other tool I’ve tried from Duolingo, Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone etc.
It doesn't make any sound when I click the speaker icon. What's wrong with this?

At least the videos sound Levantine
I was unable to listen because I'm at the airport but I was really curious. Thank you!
Nice work.
As others mentioned, I couldn't hear the sound.
There is a dire need for a good quality arabic learning app.
Saw a couple of words that (as far as I know) aren't "modern standard Arabic" is there any bias towards a dialect or another?
Are the vocalisations of the letters synthetic?
Edit: If I wasn't acquainted with arabic script I'd probably not be able to make out the difference in vocalisation between some letters.
