The platform

Progress in Sudanese 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 Sudanese Arabic

Sudanese and Egyptian Arabic are fairly close, mutually intelligible at 70-80%. Sudanese people consume Egyptian media extensively (films, series), and Egyptian influence on Sudanese Arabic is strong. But Sudanese has its own characteristic pronunciation, specific vocabulary with Nubian and African loanwords, and a distinct musicality. An Egyptian recognises a Sudanese accent immediately.
Several reasons: the active Sudanese diaspora (Egypt, the Gulf, Europe), archaeological tourism (the pyramids of Meroë, incredibly less crowded than those in Egypt), academic research (African studies, Nubian history), and humanitarian work (Sudan has been going through a crisis since 2023 that has created a large diaspora in Europe). For NGOs and journalists working in the region, Sudanese Arabic is invaluable.
The Sudanese community in Europe has grown sharply since 2023 with the humanitarian crisis, tens of thousands of refugees have arrived across European countries. Refugee support associations are active in many major cities. For social workers, asylum lawyers, and healthcare professionals, a few Sudanese Arabic basics dramatically improve communication with the community.
Sudanese Arabic is broadly similar to Egyptian Arabic in its basic structure, which makes it relatively accessible if you already have some Arabic background. Its phonology is distinctive, certain sounds are produced further back in the throat. Everyday vocabulary can differ from standard Arabic. With MSA foundations, progression to Sudanese is fast.
For an English speaker with no Arabic background, expect 10 to 14 months to reach conversational B1. If you already have Egyptian or MSA foundations, 4 to 6 months are enough for Sudanese. The Arabic alphabet is the first challenge, it can be learned in 3 to 4 weeks. The guttural Arabic sounds and the Nubian influences on vocabulary are the specific features to master.

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.

AntoineVerified purchase

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.
