Learn Arabic with free lessons daily. Let Mondly teach you the Arabic language quickly and effectively. In just minutes you’ll start memorizing core Arabic words, form sentences, learn to speak Arabic phrases and take part in conversations. Fun Arabic lessons improve your vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation like no other language learning method. Beginner or advanced learner, traveler or business professional with a tight schedule? The app works great and dynamically adjusts to your needs. Explore language exercises for reading, listening, writing and speaking enhanced with a dictionary, verb conjugator and state-of-the-art speech recognition technology - you’ll feel like having your own Arabic language tutor in your pocket. ▶ The secret path to language learning Remember the Arabic language classes in school? You started with hundreds of basic words and expressions, continued with tons of Arabic grammar lessons and at the end of a full semester’s language course you could barely translate a sentence or say “Hello!” to a foreigner. That’s the traditional way to learn a language. Mondly has a different approach, that’s opposite to the average language course. Here are the key features that make Mondly a great tutor for you: • Crystal-clear audio and professional voice actors. Learn the right Arabic pronunciation from conversations between native speakers. • State-of-the-art Speech Recognition. Mondly knows exactly how to listen to your Arabic words and phrases. You will only get a positive feedback if you speak Arabic clearly and correctly. • Useful phrases for real situations. Memorizing hundreds of isolated words is not the way to go when it comes to learning Arabic. Mondly teaches you Arabic vocabulary by offering you core words and phrases. • Learn conversational Arabic. Conversation is the main reason to take this free course. It will help you build a core Arabic vocabulary with widely-used nouns and verbs, and speak Arabic clearly. • Verb conjugations. If you want to learn more during this course, just tap the Arabic verbs and get the full conjugation on the screen, including the translation. • Advanced Statistics. The App uses intelligent reporting, so you can always follow your progress. Build your vocabulary step by step and become better daily. • The Leaderboard. See how your friends are doing and compete with people from all over the world to become the best learner in the Mondly community family. Take the Weekly Quiz to become even better. Before you know it, at the end of these Arabic lessons, you will master the most useful 5000 words and phrases and you will be on the fast lane to learning a new language.
