## What is Arabic Explorer?

You already tried to learn Arabic once. Maybe it was another app, maybe the Madinah books. You learned some words, then stalled, because nobody showed you how the language actually works.

Arabic Explorer picks up exactly there. It teaches the system underneath the vocabulary: roots, patterns, verb forms, and the grammar that holds a sentence together. Then it puts you straight into real Arabic, so the rules have somewhere to land.

Free to learn. No ads.

WHY LEARNERS SWITCH

"I tried to learn Arabic by way of the Medina books and only made slow progress. But with this app, making progress has been made easy. I recommend it for everyone struggling with learning Arabic the conventional way."

"An app that finally teaches grammar and sarf. I had been looking for one for so long."

Rated 5.0 on the App Store.

MASTER SARF, THE ENGINE OF ARABIC

Arabic is built on roots and patterns. Learn them once and thousands of words open up.

kataba (he wrote), katib (writer), kitab (book), maktab (office), maktaba (library). One root, five meanings, one pattern you can now recognise anywhere.

* Verb Forms I to X
* Madi, Mudari and Amr
* Passive forms and full pronoun sets
* Conjugation Gym: pick a form, pick a tense, drill it
* Step by step explanations, never bare tables

READ REAL ARABIC FROM DAY ONE

* Qisas al-Nabiyyin: 11 prophetic stories across 217 chapters, graded B1 to C1
* Kamal's readers: short illustrated stories built only from words you have already met
* Listen mode highlights each word as it is read aloud
* Tap any word for its meaning and root, then send it to review

WATCH ARABIC, UNDERSTAND ARABIC

41 video lessons with the Arabic transcript running alongside, including the animated Life of Imam Bukhari series.

* Every word highlights as it is spoken
* Tap a word mid-sentence for the gloss
* CEFR levels marked so you can find your level

THE QURAN, WORD BY WORD

* See exactly how often a verb appears, and in how many surahs, before you learn it
* Verb Journey: the top 500 Quranic verbs, in frequency order
* Daily Word: crack open one Quranic word a day and light up your night sky
* Real verses, not invented sentences

PRACTICE THAT ACTUALLY TESTS YOU

Fifteen quiz types, not one on repeat: sentence building, matching, fill in the blank, listening, typing, diacritic selection and more.

* Spaced repetition that gives you more of what you get wrong
* Daily missions, streaks and XP
* Weekly leagues and friend leaderboards
* Home-screen widgets so your streak is visible without opening the app

WHO THIS IS FOR

* You know the alphabet and want to move past survival phrases
* You want to understand the Quran you already recite
* You are working through the Madinah books or a university course
* You are tired of memorising words that never add up to a sentence

Arabic is not hard. It just needs to be taught in the right order.

Download Arabic Explorer and start with one pattern, one verse, one story.

### 5/5 — Amazing holistic app

*2026-07-24*

Jzk for this. It’s actually such an underrated app. Allaahumma baarik. It covers so many parts of the language and has been a great resource especially to help me learn and master the verb forms and practice listening. Please do say you intend to continue add chapters from qasas un nabiyyeen and maybe even the entire Umar series or more things to listen/watch and translate.  I would literally pay for this. It’s like duo lingo but better. May Allaah reward you.

**Developer response:** Barakallahu feekum, this sort of feedback really is a huge motivation and I'm so happy to see the app is helping you in so many ways. Yes for sure we intend to get the remaining Qasas chapters out soon insha'Allah along with expanding the video library with a wider variety of content. If you have any more feedback please feel free to reach out! May Allah bless you Arabic journey!

### 5/5 — Explore Arabic 😁

*2026-05-05*

I’ve been trying to learn Arabic for some time now - been looking for something that will keep me engaged. This is a fun learning tool for key vocabulary and words that appear in the Quran. I really like how you can see how many times each word appears in the Quran and work through some ayah translation activities to test your knowledge. I like competing - makes me stay focused on my learning, so the leaderboard is one of favourite features.

**Developer response:** Jazakumullahu Khair Zahra, we really appreciate the kind words!

### 5/5 — An app that came out at the RIGHT time
