Baghdad panorama, Iraq (Copyright)
Iraqi Arabic or Mesopotamian Arabic is the Arabic dialect spoken by 15 million people in Iraq and parts of Kuwait, Syria, and southern Iran.
Baghdad Arabic is the dialect that is most widely used and best understood by all groups in this region.
Just as Egyptian Arabic has a strong influence from Coptic, Iraqi Arabic has a strong influence from Aramaic.

The Mango Languages App offers 70 languages, including Iraqi Arabic.
This app also has some grammar lessons and cultural explanations. The explanations in English are all recorded and well done.
However, the number of lessons for learning Iraqi Arabic is quite small, which means that this app is only suitable for absolute beginners.
There are no exercises, except for the repeated vocabulary tests.
You can also record your own pronunciation in the app and compare it with the recording of a native speaker.
Summary: Good quality, but not much vocabulary. Only for absolute Iraqi Arabic beginners.
Content: Iraqi lessons and vocabulary trainer with native speaker audio, grammar
Prices: USD 22 (1 month), USD 70 (12 months), USD 255 (unlimited)
Overall Value: 
With the Memrise App you can learn over 90 languages.
This includes even very small languages - however, in such cases the language courses are often limited to just a few lessons.
One special feature of the Memrise learning app is the large number of lessons created by users (native speakers).
The quality of these lessons varies greatly though. For example, only the basic forms of verbs are usually taught, without the conjugations. Some languages also do not have an audio recording of the words at all.
Another good idea of the Memrise app are the user-generated tips and mnemonics for each word to help you memorize them.
Summary: User-generated lessons are a good idea. In practice, the quality of the lessons leaves a lot be desired.
Content: Iraqi exercises with native speaker audio and speech recognition
Prices: USD 9.99 (1 month), USD 100 (12 months), USD 200 (unlimited), USD 400 (163 languages)
Overall Value:
The Bluebird App offers 146 source languages and 163 target languages and dialects, including Iraqi Arabic.
The Iraqi language course in this app includes the following:
There are about 500 video lessons for learning Iraqi, each 5 to 60 minutes long. For languages with other scripts, the words can also be displayed transliterated in the Latin script.
The Bluebird app has no grammar lessons. Instead, you are supposed to understand the grammar "implicitly" from the examples, like in Rosetta Stone.
Summary: The video lessons and the interface take some getting used to, but the exercises are quite varied. Especially for smaller languages, this app is a viable alternative.
Suitabe for: Beginners, advanced, students, travel vocabulary
Content: Eastern Arabic vocabulary, lessons with native-speaker audio and speech recognition
Price: USD 150 (Basics)
Overall Value: 
The Pimsleur App is very similar to Rosetta Stone in that it does not give grammar explanations, verb conjugation tables, etc.
Instead, the Pimsleur method is supposed to let you learn the Eastern Arabic dialect intuitively, just like your native language - by combining pictures, reading and speaking (speech recognition).
The complete course includes a total of five courses (levels 1 to 5). The beginner course is level 1. Each of the five courses offers 30 daily lessons of 30 minutes each and there are various interactive exercises.
This Eastern Arabic learning course for PCs and Macs also includes a mobile app for Android and iOS systems.
Summary: The most expensive beginner course, even though it is unlikely that learning with it is much better than with the cheaper apps.
