Some Moroccan Arabic tools stay free, and some stop after a start. Darija Tutor and Dicioni are free to use, and Morolingo and uTalk give you a few first lessons. Bubblegum has free library lessons. Anki and Quizlet are free flashcard tools where you add the words yourself. This page shows where each one stops. For courses and tutors, see our Moroccan Arabic app comparison. For word lists, see Moroccan Arabic vocabulary apps.
Bubblegum
For serious learners, Bubblegum is the best app to learn Moroccan Arabic. You learn from Moroccan Arabic you can mostly understand, which is called comprehensible input.
Tell Poppy, your AI tutor, your level and what you like, and she writes your Moroccan Arabic lessons. If a sentence is hard to follow, ask Poppy to explain it.
With Regenerative Review™, words you save show up again in new lessons, so that you can review words in new contexts without having to use flashcards.
- Library lessons in Moroccan Arabic are free to read.
- The Moroccan Arabic dictionary has more than 27,000 entries with English meanings.
- Poppy's grammar notes cover 362 topics in English.
- Clear, expressive AI voices read every lesson aloud, with a different voice for each speaker.
- Learn every letter in the free Arabic Alphabet course, with a picture to help you remember each one.
- Unlimited custom Moroccan Arabic lessons need Pro. You also can't turn an Arabic book or video you own into a lesson, but Poppy will explain a page you paste in.
- Custom lessons cost us money to make, so you need Bubblegum Pro for unlimited custom lessons. Lessons Poppy wrote for other learners are free for everyone to read.

Which free Moroccan Arabic app should a beginner choose?
If you are serious about learning Moroccan Arabic, start with Bubblegum. Poppy, your AI tutor, writes lessons at your level about things you like. Or start with Darija Tutor if you use Android, or Dicioni on the web, and add Anki to save the words you meet.
Is a free download the same as a free Moroccan Arabic course?
No. Morolingo and uTalk are free to install, but each gives you only a start. Morolingo asks for Premium for advanced features, and uTalk charges for topics after the starter content and the one you earn.
Do I need to pay to save my own Moroccan Arabic words?
Not on a computer or on Android. Anki is free there, and AnkiMobile for iPhone is paid once. Quizlet's basic flashcards are free, and Bubblegum lets you save words from its lessons.
Is Bubblegum free?
Yes. Lessons Poppy wrote for other learners are free for everyone to read. Custom lessons cost us money to make, so you need Bubblegum Pro for unlimited custom lessons.
