Kalam

I built Kalam because I grew up surrounded by Arabic but never truly *spoke* it - I could read it, maybe write a little, but when it came to real conversation, I froze. None of the apps out there felt made for people like me: heritage learners who know the sounds, feel the culture, but never got the chance to speak with confidence. Kalam is different, it’s voice-first, intuitive, and rooted in actual conversation, not grammar drills or textbook phrases. You speak from day one, like how you’d talk to your family or order food on the street. What makes me proud isn’t just the product, it’s the messages; people saying they finally talked to their grandparents in Arabic, or understood a khutbah (sermon) for the first time. That’s why this exists. Kalam is more than an app - it’s a way back to yourself, or better yet, a better version of yourself.
