## What is Takalamu?

Takalamu is a method for learning Modern Standard Arabic (fusha), built for learners who want to understand what they read and express themselves in daily life: greeting, introducing yourself, talking about your family, then moving into the vocabulary of prayer and the Quran.

A JOURNEY IN 5 CIRCLES
From the most personal to the most spiritual:
- Me: introduce yourself, express your feelings, talk about your day
- My family: loved ones, the home, daily life
- People: the market, the restaurant, asking for directions, traveling
- The community: congratulating, comforting, celebrations, culture
- Faith: the pillars of Islam, invocations, the foundations to understand the Quran

90 structured lessons, more than 620 fully vowelized words and a 22-theme vocabulary library, from numbers to the beautiful names of Allah.

A 3-STEP METHOD
1. Learn with real everyday dialogues, fully vowelized (complete tashkil): you read correctly from day one.
2. Practice with 6 varied exercises: quiz, matching grid, sentence building, FlashSwipe and more.
3. Remember for good: the spaced repetition algorithm (SRS) brings each word back right before you forget it.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED
- Complete tashkil on every word, with transliteration and translation
- Audio for dialogues, words and phrases
- Root exploration: see how a root like س ل م connects salam and islam
- Phrasebook: useful phrases unlock as you progress
- Weekly challenge: listen, answer the quiz and climb the leaderboard
- Resume mode: a targeted refresher when you come back after a break
- Detailed tracking: day streaks, mastery rate, progress per circle
- Your progress syncs automatically across your devices

WHO IS IT FOR?
The only prerequisite: being able to decipher the Arabic alphabet, even slowly. If you learned to read with the Quran, you are exactly in the right place. Takalamu is for you if you are starting from zero, if you read the Quran without understanding it, if you speak a dialect but not fusha, or if you already tried to learn and gave up along the way.

Takalamu does not replace a teacher: it is the first step. You build your foundation (vocabulary, fluent reading, basic structures) at your own pace, so you can later approach a class or a conversation with solid ground under your feet.

FREE TO TRY, THEN PREMIUM
Create a free account: the first lessons and part of the vocabulary are open so you can get a real feel for the method. The Takalamu Premium subscription then unlocks the whole journey: all 5 circles, the 90 lessons and the full vocabulary library.

Takalamu Premium is an auto-renewable subscription (monthly, 6 months or yearly). Payment is charged to your App Store account at purchase confirmation. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it anytime in your App Store account settings.
