Shami - شامي7.0.0 - App Store

Shami is designed to help Arabic learners, particularly those who have chosen to study the Jordanian/Palestinian dialect. It's important to acknowledge the diversity of dialects in this region; however, Shami has specifically focused on the most widely spoken variant in Amman.

We highly value your feedback, as it plays a huge role in shaping Shami to better meet the needs of Arabic learners!
