Everything you need to know about learning with Etkalem Zayohom

Etkalem Zayohom (اتكلم زيهم) is the first language-learning platform built specifically for Arabic speakers. We teach Italian, Spanish, French, German, and Slovenian using Egyptian Arabic as the instruction language — not English or formal Arabic.

Our platform is designed for Arab immigrants and Arabic speakers living in or relocating to Europe. Whether you're in Italy, Spain, France, Germany, or Slovenia, we help you learn the local language for work, education, and daily life.

Egyptian Arabic (العامية المصرية) is the most widely understood Arabic dialect. Teaching in your native dialect makes learning faster and more natural. Research shows that learners retain more when instruction is in their mother tongue.

Currently we offer full curricula for Italian (A1–B2) and French (A1–B2). Spanish, German, and Slovenian curricula are in active development and will be available soon.

We cover levels A1 through B2 on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). This takes you from complete beginner to upper-intermediate — enough for daily life, work conversations, and official language requirements.

We offer video courses, interactive comic-based lessons, real-world situation simulations (hospital, bank, work), flashcards with audio, podcast-style listening exercises, and grammar reference e-books.

We offer a free trial so you can explore the platform. Full access to all courses and features requires a subscription. Check our Pricing page for current plans.

Yes! Etkalem Zayohom is fully responsive and works on any device — phone, tablet, or desktop. You can also install it as a Progressive Web App (PWA) for an app-like experience.

Unlike Duolingo or Babbel which teach through English, we teach through Egyptian Arabic. Our curriculum is designed specifically for Arabic speakers' linguistic patterns, and our content focuses on real immigration scenarios — not tourist phrases.

Simply create a free account, choose your target language and proficiency level, and start learning immediately. No credit card required for the trial.
