ArabicDialectHub: A Cross-Dialectal Arabic Learning Resource and Platform

Salem Lahlou


Abstract
We present ArabicDialectHub, a cross-dialectal Arabic learning resource comprising 552 phrases across six varieties (Moroccan Darija, Lebanese, Syrian, Emirati, Saudi, and MSA) and an interactive web platform. Phrases were generated using LLMs and validated by five native speakers, stratified by difficulty, and organized thematically. The open-source platform provides translation exploration, adaptive quizzing with algorithmic distractor generation, cloud-synchronized progress tracking, and cultural context. Both the dataset and complete platform source code are released under MIT license. Platform: https://arabic-dialect-hub.netlify.app.
