The platform

Progress in Saudi Arabic between classes, at your own pace

Interactive lessons with native audio, vocabulary, dialogues and quizzes. Everything you need to reinforce your skills between live sessions.

The platform

Between classes, you move forward twenty minutes a day

Lessons follow one another in order, with no evening to set aside. Every word is recorded by a native speaker.

  • 49 lessons across 22 modules, from beginner to advanced
  • Native audio on every word, with a slow-down button
  • Your progress is kept, on phone and on computer alike
Audio

You hear the language as it is actually spoken

The recordings are made by native speakers, not by a synthetic voice. The slow-down button separates the sounds when it goes too fast.

  • Every sentence can be played and slowed down
  • The transcription and translation sit under the audio
  • You replay it as many times as you need, with no limit
Quizzes

Every module ends with a quiz, not with a ticked box

You are corrected on the spot, with the explanation. A failed quiz can be retaken, with no penalty and no record.

  • Immediate correction, with the right answer explained
  • An end-of-level test opens the next level
  • A level certificate at the end of the course

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Saudi Arabic

Saudi Arabic encompasses several internal dialects: Najdi (Riyadh, centre) and Hijazi (Jeddah, Mecca, west coast). Gulf Arabic in the broader sense also includes Emirati, Kuwaiti, Bahraini, and Qatari dialects, all close but with vocabulary and accent differences. Najdi Saudi is often the media reference, while Hijazi is more accessible and closer to Modern Standard Arabic.
Absolutely. Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the Arab world and the 19th largest globally. Vision 2030 is creating massive opportunities in tourism (NEOM), entertainment, tech, industry, and Islamic finance. Speaking Saudi Arabic in business meetings in Riyadh or Jeddah gives a significant advantage over English-only competitors, the language is seen as a sign of respect and genuine commitment to the culture.
Not strictly, but it helps enormously. Saudi Arabic, especially Najdi, preserves more classical structures than Maghrebi or Levantine dialects. Educated Saudis easily switch between dialect and MSA depending on context. Starting with MSA basics (alphabet, vocabulary, basic grammar) considerably accelerates learning the Saudi dialect.
Saudi Arabia has changed dramatically since 2017: women can drive, cinemas have reopened, concerts are permitted, and women no longer need a male guardian for most everyday matters. The expatriate community is huge (more than 10 million) and English is spoken in professional settings. But in daily life, with neighbours, at markets, with drivers, Saudi Arabic is essential for real integration.
For an English speaker, 8 to 12 months with regular classes to reach B1. If you already have MSA foundations, 4 to 6 months are enough for Saudi dialect. The guttural Arabic sounds (kha, ghain, 'ayn) are the main phonetic challenges for Westerners. Saudi dialectal grammar is simpler than classical Arabic.

Which Arabic should you learn?

Modern Standard Arabic is read and written everywhere, but spoken in no street. Each country has its own dialect, and that is what you hear in the market, on the phone and in TV series. Pick the one your people actually speak.

Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.

What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.

Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.

Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.

The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.
