Frequently asked questions:
- Is this Modern Standard Arabic? Yes. Fasaha teaches MSA (Fusha), the formal Arabic of literature, news, and media understood across the Arab world.
- What is the difference between Fusha and dialects? Dialects (ammiyya) differ by region; Fusha — Modern Standard Arabic and classical Arabic — is the universal written standard of books, media, and the Quran.
- Can I learn to read Arabic without vowels? Yes. Every text can show all vowel marks, a minimal set, or none, so you move to unvocalized text in steps.
- How does Fasaha compare with other Arabic apps? Fasaha explains Arabic in 18 languages; tap any Arabic word for its meaning, root and pattern. In our comparison of 21 Arabic courses and apps (fasaha.app/compare), only Fasaha has all five reading features: the script, real texts, meanings on tap, roots and patterns, and grammar.
- Can I learn the Arabic alphabet from scratch? Yes. Reading Key guides you through Arabic script and sounds from zero.
- Does it work offline? Yes. The dictionary works without a connection for everyone; Premium adds lesson downloads for offline study.
- What is free, and what does Premium add? Free: Reading Key, 15 dictionary lookups every 24 hours, up to 50 saved words with review, and the first texts, stories, episodes and grammar lessons of each level and series. Premium is a monthly or annual Google Play subscription: it opens everything, lifts the lookup limit and adds offline downloads. New subscribers get a 7-day free trial; prices vary by country.
- Is this for Quranic Arabic? Yes, for the linguistic foundation. Fasaha teaches Fusha — the language of the Quran and classical texts — through real texts, sentence analysis, and vocabulary help. It is a language tool, not a mushaf or tafsir.
