Speak the Arabic people actually use in Damascus, Beirut, Amman and Ramallah.
Levantine Translator turns English into real spoken Shami — the everyday dialect of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine — not the formal Modern Standard Arabic you get from ordinary translation apps. Ask for a coffee, haggle in the souq, or hold a conversation, and sound like you have been there before.
TRANSLATE ANYTHING
• Translate between Levantine Arabic and 18 languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish and Turkish
• Every result comes in both Arabic script and easy Latin Arabizi, so you can read it even if you have never learned the alphabet
• Speak instead of typing — dictate in either language and get an instant translation
• Point your camera at a sign, menu or label and translate the text in the photo
• Hear every translation read aloud in a natural Levantine voice, male or female
A DICTIONARY THAT EXPLAINS
Look up any word in English, Arabic script or Arabizi and get a proper entry: the part of speech, a clear definition, the Levantine equivalent, and two everyday example sentences you can actually say. Tap the speaker on any of them to hear how it sounds.
PRACTICE UNTIL IT STICKS
• Chat Tutor — hold a real conversation with a patient Levantine tutor that gently corrects you as you go
• Grammar — the patterns that matter, explained plainly: baddi for wanting, the b- present, 3am for what is happening right now, and negation with ma
• Pronunciation — how to read the sounds English does not have, including the soft j and the glottal stop that make Shami sound Levantine rather than Egyptian
• Phrases — 68 practical lines grouped by situation: greetings, food, shopping, transport, hotels, health and everyday expressions
• Quiz — quick rounds to test what you remember
BUILT FOR THE WHOLE LEVANT
Levantine Arabic is one language across four countries, and this app treats it that way. The vocabulary is the neutral urban register understood from Damascus to Amman, and the travel section carries emergency numbers for Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine separately, because they are not the same.
EVERY DAY, SOMETHING NEW
Open the app to a new Levantine word, a proverb worth knowing, and a short fact about the history of the region — Jericho, Palmyra, Byblos, Petra.
KEEP WHAT MATTERS
Star any word or translation to find it again, and your translation history is there whenever you need to reuse something you looked up last week.
FREE AND PREMIUM
Everything above is free to try, with a daily allowance of translations, voice playback and tutor messages. Premium removes the limits entirely — unlimited translations, unlimited natural-voice audio and unlimited tutor conversations — with a monthly or yearly subscription.
An internet connection is needed for translation, the AI dictionary and the tutor. The phrasebook, proverbs and word lists work offline.
Whether you are travelling, moving for work, reconnecting with family, or simply want the Arabic your friends actually speak, Levantine Translator is built to get you talking.
