Daftari: A Study Companion for Jordanian Arabic

Field notes

Daftari divides study into alphabet, numbers, phrasebook, vocabulary, flashcards, and quizzes, with controls for shuffling, revealing cards, and hiding transliteration. Its pronunciation material gives physical instructions rather than only transliterations: ر is taught as the single tap in Spanish “Roberto,” while ح is explained through controlled throat pressure. The guide also records Jordanian variation, including ق as “g” or a glottal stop in Amman.
