Saudi Dialect Arabic
Your textbook taught you Modern Standard Arabic. Nobody on the street speaks it.
Saudi Arabic is its own language in practice. The greetings are different. The slang is different. The way people order coffee, give directions, or talk to a doctor is nothing like what you learned in class. And yet almost every Arabic deck out there still teaches MSA vocabulary with no audio and no context.
This deck teaches Urban Najdi, the dialect of Riyadh and central Saudi Arabia. 43 themes organized around real situations, not abstract word lists. "At the Pharmacy" not "Medical Vocabulary." Every card has Najdi-accent audio, an example sentence showing how the word is actually used, and transliteration so you can read it even if you're still learning the script.
A few Hijazi variant notes flag where Jeddah differs from Riyadh. Most variant notes cover the UAE and Kuwait.
The A1 to B2 levels are our own estimate of when a learner needs each word, not an official CEFR placement.

What learners are saying
Beautiful cards with a good selection of words categorised by usage into 4 sub-decks. This allows me to quickly press into the A1-A2 levels cards and get a faster payoff which is very nice. Things I like - The phrases are relevant and allow me to understand the word in context. - Cultural notes and Gulf variances are an awesome addition. - Audio is good and it includes both a M/F narrator for both word and sentence. It is also easy to replay any of them if you want to rehear it. Thank you for making this and I look forward to future updates.
