Arabic for kids, in your family’s voice

For families from Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine raising children who will grow up speaking another language at school. Maata teaches the Arabic your family uses at home — and your child hears it from you, their grandparents and the people they love.

What your child will say

About 230 everyday words and phrases in 31 topics: greetings, family, food, feelings, getting ready, numbers, colours and more.

Little talks in Arabic

Short two-person conversations. Your child listens first, then says their part while a family voice answers.

• Teta calls — Teta calls you on the phone.
• What's your name? — Jiddo's friend meets you.
• At the table — Mama is serving dinner.
• Let's play — Your big brother wants to play.
• What happened? — You fell down. Baba runs over.
• Bedtime — It's late, and Mama says it's time for bed.
• Can I help? — Baba is carrying the shopping in.
• School morning — Mama wakes you up for school.

In your family’s voice

• Record any word once — your child hears you in every lesson.
• Grandparents abroad install Maata free, record, and send their voice by WhatsApp.
• Add your family’s own words: pet names, family dishes, the things grandma always says.

We wrote these words carefully for everyday family talk, and native-speaking parents are checking them now. If your family says something differently, tap the word to fix it and record it your way.
