This is a comprehensive set of 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 extensive 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 dont 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.

Pros and cons of Egyptian Arabic Dictionary app for iPhone and iPad

Egyptian Arabic Dictionary app good for

I love it, I cant live without this app. If youre studying EA, you need this app!
Love this app. So useful and a lot of features. Its a must for Egyptian Arabic Absolutely great
Contains Great number of words in both Egyptian and modern standard Arabic, with pronunciation recordings. Only one thing i would change, allow users to write using standard system keyboards not only with the built in one.

Some bad moments

Great application! Very useful!! But since the last updates the page of the application is white. Doesnt work anymore. Why?
I am absolutely in love with this app. Im an 18-year old American guy. Ive been learning Egyptian Arabic and fus7a for maybe a year and a half now and this is definitely one of the absolute bed resources Ive come across. I am so stinkin excited about this app. Ive been waiting for it for a very, very, VERY long time and it was definitely worth the wait. You guys have done a great job. Please keep it up!
This app is great to anyone learning Arabic especially the Egyptian dialect. Not only is it a dictionary but contains so much grammar information. This app has exceeded my expectations
My arabic is a bit rusty. I got this app to help me with my vowels, and I have to say Im quite pleased with how simple and resourceful it is.
Been using the website since I arrived in Egypt and find it very helpful. Glad there’s now an app that makes it more portable. I did notice that the links to the sound files of the Egyptian words disappear if you choose to not have transliteration displayed. Not a big deal, but just be aware.
Ive been waiting a long time for a dictionary this comprehensive and easy to use, including slang and idioms. It seems better English-->Arabic than vice versa, but way better than anything else out there.
