This is not just a dictionary… it is an extensive set of learning tools for anybody who wants to study 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, vocabulary, reading and writing.

The Egyptian Arabic/English and English/Egyptian Arabic dictionary is comprehensive and up to date. Words are displayed in Arabic, transliterated and phonetic writing, with recordings of 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 don't 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 or the translation to see its meaning, and identify the corresponding word in the other language.

The vocabulary learning tool helps you to build, learn and revise your personal vocabulary list: it uses SRS (Spaced Repetition System) to provide effective learning and long-term retention.

The pronunciation tool is equally useful for people learning Egyptian Arabic and people learning English. You can select a list of words with the same phoneme (letter sound) or similar letters. When you select a word from the list, you can hear somebody saying the word, record yourself saying the same word and then compare your recording with the correct pronunciation.

The reading and writing tool first introduces the letters of the Arabic alphabet, then tests your knowledge by showing and/or saying random words and checking that you can write them correctly.
