This is a set of powerful learning aids for Egyptian Arabic: it is also useful for Egyptians who wish to improve or extend their English. It includes a dictionary, thesaurus, grammar, examples and tools to improve pronunciation and extend vocabulary.

The Egyptian Arabic/English and English/Egyptian Arabic dictionary is comprehensive and up to date. Words are displayed in arabic, transliterated and phonetic writing, with recordings of somebody saying all of the main word forms. For most verbs, a full translation of all cases and tenses is available. The search facility uses approximate matching, so you can find words even if you don't know exactly how to spell them.

The grammar document gives a complete summary of Egyptian arabic with examples and recordings.

The examples are linked to the dictionary, so you can easily find examples of a word. You touch any word in an example to see its meaning.

The vocabulary learning tool helps you to build, learn and revise your personal vocabulary list: it uses SRS (Spaced Repetition System) to provide fast and thorough learning.

The pronunciation tool is equally useful for people learning Egyptian Arabic and people learning English. You can select groups of words with similar letters or phonemes, hear somebody saying the word then record yourself and compare yourself to the correct pronunciation.
