The best Maghrebi Arabic websites

Covers Egyptian, Levantine, Saudi, Iraqi, Sudanese, Moroccan, Algerian and Tunisian with native-speaker audio and video dialogues and transcripts, which makes it the most practical single answer for someone who has picked a dialect other than Egyptian. Useful too if you are still deciding and want to hear them side by side. It is a paid membership, material is organised as a library rather than a course, and depth varies a lot between the well-served dialects and the smaller ones.

A modern course platform for Moroccan Arabic — the dialect furthest from anything a Modern Standard course prepares you for — with a set of free modules before the paid tiers, taught by native speakers. Useful for anyone moving to or working in Morocco. Darija's Amazigh and French loan vocabulary means very little transfers to Middle Eastern Arabic, so choose it deliberately rather than as your default dialect.

Over a thousand clips — TV, music, interviews, cartoons — each with tappable Arabic and English captions, an audio dictionary and vocabulary practice, filterable by Levantine, Egyptian, Gulf, Maghrebi, MSA or Educated Spoken Arabic. It is the cleanest way to train your ear on how a specific dialect actually sounds instead of textbook recordings. There is a free tier and trial, but the useful volume needs a subscription, and there is an alphabet course but no full grammar syllabus.

Search a word and see how it is used in Classical Arabic and across Egyptian, Levantine, North African, Gulf, Iraqi, Sudanese and Yemeni, with roots, plurals, pronunciation notes and example sentences — something no other free resource comes close to. Essential once you start reading or listening to real dialect material. The web dictionaries are free (a paid Lughatuna app adds offline access), and coverage is much thicker for Egyptian and Levantine than for the others.

An open educational project offering short thematic units around authentic Arab cultural material, each with video or audio, vocabulary support and activities, tagged by level so beginners get something they can actually use. It answers the 'why does my textbook have no culture in it' complaint directly. Content spans several dialects and MSA, module count is modest, and it supplements a course rather than replacing one.
