Try Arabic
A little taste of Arabic
Three short steps, a few minutes in all: tap the letters to hear them, read your first Arabic sentence, then have your first conversation.
From letters to words
Read your first Arabic sentence
Tap the letters to hear them, then keep scrolling and watch them join into a real sentence. Nothing to sign up for, and nothing to get wrong.
Tap any letter to hear it.
- أَذْهَبُadh-habuI go
- إِلَىilato
- الْمَدْرَسَةِal-madrasatithe school
- كُلَّkullaevery
- يَوْمٍyawmday
adh-habu ila al-madrasati kulla yawmI go to school every day.
Tap each word
Now read it yourself
adh-habu ila al-madrasati kulla yawm: I go to school every day.
Most Arabic words grow from three root letters. Words from the same root share a meaning: د ر س (study) also gives دَرْس, a lesson.

Esa says something, you pick the reply. Four lines, and you have had your first conversation in Arabic.
