Olive Arabic

Arabic language-learning platform

The problem

Learners of Levantine (spoken) Arabic have far fewer good tools than learners of Modern Standard Arabic. Olive Arabic set out to teach the dialect people actually speak, with structured lessons, regular review and help whenever a learner gets stuck.

What we built

Learners move through stages, clusters and lessons in an offline-first React Native (Expo) app with spaced-repetition review and an AI companion named Olive. A Next.js and Supabase admin manages lesson content, and a Python service uses a Hugging Face M2M100 model for English-to-Levantine translation.

Results

  • Offline-first mobile app with spaced-repetition review
  • AI companion and English-to-Levantine translation model
  • Content admin for the lesson team (Next.js + Supabase)
  • Public website live with a waitlist; the app is pre-launch, so no usage figures yet

Install figures are public Google Play listing bands and describe the whole product, not our contribution alone.
