Questions, answered
Which kind of Arabic do you practise?
You can practise clear Modern Standard Arabic and everyday spoken phrases. Mira adapts to whether you want formal or conversational Arabic.
Do I need to know any Arabic already?
No, you can start as a complete beginner. Mira speaks slowly, keeps things simple, and can help in English when you are stuck, then raises the difficulty as you improve.
How is this different from a language app?
Apps build vocabulary but rarely make you speak in real time. Mira is a live phone conversation, so you practise understanding and speaking Arabic together, which is what real conversations demand.
