I grew up hearing Palestinian Arabic but couldn't speak it back. Every app and course I tried taught Modern Standard Arabic, or a generic "Arabic" that no one actually speaks at home. None of them sounded like my family.
So I built Tfaddalu for myself first. I kept it to the spoken urban dialect, and built the lessons around the situations I actually wanted to handle: talking to relatives, getting through a phone call, not catching every third word at a gathering.
If you grew up around this language and lost it somewhere along the way, this is what I wish had existed.

Does the app use any speech recognition to actually listen and give feedback on my pronunciation, or is it more like flashcards with audio?

@cengizafrf Right now it is flashcards and sentences with audio. Speech recognition is quite complex for a specific dialect of Arabic, but we are working on more features!

How does the app handle the free pack after I finish those ten phrases—is there a subscription or is it a one-time purchase to unlock everything?

finally an app that teaches the dialect we actually grew up hearing at home, not a textbook version nobody speaks. love that the first ten phrases are free so you can feel out the format before committing.
