Af Soomaali · Somali phrasebook
Your mother tongue
Somali is not just vocabulary. It is how your grandmother tells a story, how a joke actually lands, how you say something to your mother that does not quite translate. When the language slips, some of that goes with it.
What’s inside
Everyday topics, with example sentences throughout — so you learn a phrase in use, not as a word on its own.
Tap a phrase to hear the Somali spoken aloud, so you learn how it actually sounds rather than guessing from the spelling.
Flip through a topic in whichever direction suits you — English first, or Somali first. Star anything you want to come back to.
Questions are drawn from everything you have unlocked, so it gets harder as you learn instead of repeating the same handful.
Download the audio once and it plays offline — on the bus, on the plane, in the back of the shop.
Look up anything in English or in Somali across the whole collection, whenever the word will not come to you.
No account, no email, no ads, no tracking. Your favourites and progress stay on your device where they belong.
Soomaali baa i dhalay
Melbourne, Minneapolis, London, Nairobi, Toronto, Stockholm. A whole generation grew up fluent in the language of the country they landed in — and shy in the one they came from. That is not a failure. It is just what happens. It is also fixable.
Simple by design
Greetings is free forever, with full audio — enough to genuinely judge whether this suits you before spending anything.
