Don’t guess the pronunciation. Hear it!

We have been recording a native speaker and adding the audio recordings to our dictionary entries to take out all the guesswork. By becoming a member of our site, you will be able to access these recordings and play them as many times as you need to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why pay to access all the audio recordings?
1. When learning a language, listening to the sound of new words is so important. In our opinion, the audio recordings are the most useful part of our dictionary.
2. A year’s subscription costs around the same price as just two hours of language lessons with a language school and you can access the audio as many times as you like, whenever you need to, throughout the year.
3. We are paying a native moroccan speaker to give us permission to record their voice and use it on our site and we are paying for the audio files to be stored and accessible. Also, there is a lot of work involved in editing and attaching each audio file to each dictionary entry. We need your support to make all of this possible.
How do I find and access the Audio recordings?
Free members can access audio in 50 dictionary entries. Click here to see the list.
Paid subscribers can access audio in all the entries that are indicated with a headphone icon in our alphabetical list of words. Click here to see them in our alphabetical lists.
Once registered and logged in, the orange speaker icon appears in each dictionary entry that has audio available for your level of membership. It will appear like this example below (carrot in Moroccan Arabic). Click on the orange speaker below to hear the word (check your volume if you can’t here the word).
Note: You cannot download our audio recordings to use off-line. You will need to be connected and logged into our site to hear the audio.

Is there a free trial?
No, but the free membership will enable you to access 50 of our audio recordings. You won’t be asked to provide any payment details. This will enable you to see how it works and hear the quality of our audio recordings. You can then choose to upgrade to paid membership and access all our audio recordings, if you’d like to.
Is there a refund if I change my mind?
We do not provide refunds if you change your mind so we advise you to try our free membership before committing to buy a subscription. This is because digital downloads are exempt from the 14 day cancellation rule that governs other sales by internet.
However, if you cannot access the audio in our dictionary entries please contact us. If we can confirm that it is a technical problem on the website (and not with your laptop / mobile phone / speakers / etc.), and if we have been unable to fix the issue, then we will refund you the time remaining on your subscription. Please see our Subscription Terms and Conditions for more details.
I already have a Free membership, how can I upgrade to an Audio Subscription?
To upgrade to an Audio Subscription just click on the button above corresponding to the subscription period that you have chosen. You can then buy the subscription using your existing login details.
Is this a one-time or recurring payment?
Our subscriptions are a one-time payment. There is no automatic renewal. You will get a reminder e-mail a week before your subscription ends and you can chose to renew your subscription if you would like to.
How do I renew my subscription?
Our Free Membership has no expiry date so you can continue to use your login for as long as you like.
Our Audio Subscriptions will last for one year or three months depending on the period chosen. At the end of that time your subscription will expire. You will then be able to login but only have access to Free Membership content until you choose to pay for another subscription period.
We will send you a reminder e-mail one week before your subscription is due to expire. To renew and get full access to audio for another year / another 3 months go to “My Account” in the menu, click on “Subscriptions” and then click on “Renew”.
Can I pay from any country?
Card payments are limited to customers with a billing address in the European Union (through our business in France).
Alternatively, if you have a bank account in Morocco, you can pay in DH by bank transfer to our business account in Morocco. Contact us for details.
