QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK
• How do I learn the Arabic alphabet? Start with all 28 letters in the Letter Forms Lab, then trace them with your finger and practise harakat.
• Can I learn Arabic from scratch? Yes. The course starts at the script and runs through A1, A2 and B1 in short lessons.
• How do I learn Arabic words? Use the flashcard decks with example sentences, the phrasebook and the word of the day.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Lessons, tests and review work without an internet connection.
• Your progress stays on your device. No account needed.
• Listening uses your phone's text-to-speech voice, not recordings of people. Some phones need the Arabic voice installed first.
• The app teaches Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha), the Arabic of books, news and formal speech. Instructions are in English.
