Spoken Syrian Arabic · Shami

Talk with your Syrian family — not like a textbook.

Audio-first lessons in real Damascene Arabic. Listen, repeat, answer before the native speaker does. 10 minutes a day.

How do you say…

“What would you like to drink?”

shu baddak tishrab?

شو بدك تشرب؟

Built the way people actually learn to speak

Hear it in a real scene
Every lesson opens with a short conversation: a café in the old city, the neighbor on the stairs, the vegetable stall at the souq.
Say it before you hear it
You get the idea in your language, answer out loud, then a native voice confirms. It's the anticipation method behind Pimsleur.
Remember it next week
Phrases come back at growing intervals: inside the lesson, then over days with spaced repetition.
Shami, never MSA
شو not ماذا. Every phrase is colloquial Damascus Arabic with transliteration; Arabic script is there when you want it.

If you are Syrian, or learning so you can talk with Syrian family, ShamLingo is free. Ask once, we approve by hand.
