Arabi helps you build your listening and reading skills in Egyptian, Levantine or Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha), and now practice speaking in real conversations. You learn by listening to and reading plenty of Arabic you can mostly understand, a little above your level. This is called comprehensible input. Short stories, a feed of new words with natural audio, and translations on tap keep each new word in context, so it stays with you. With Arabi you can: - Talk with a character in real everyday scenes and get gentle help when you’re stuck, in the new Speaking (Beta). ** - Listen to short stories at your level, with natural audio and subtitles in your language, and keep listening with your screen locked. Tap a word you don’t know to hear it and see its meaning, then save it to practice later. * - Write a prompt and get your own exciting narrated stories, to learn on your own terms. ** - Swipe through new words in the discovery feed. Every card has natural audio in male and female voices, a translation and an example sentence. - Learn to read Arabic from zero with the built-in alphabet course. - Practice the words you’ve collected, your bookmarks or suggested words. * - Pick Egyptian, Levantine or Fusha, and switch between them anytime. * - Keep learning offline. * - Follow your daily goal on the Lock Screen, add Arabi’s widgets and get a word of the day. - Share words, stories, collections and your progress with friends. * Requires Pro or Lifetime (some stories are free to try). ** Uses diamonds, sold separately as in-app purchases. The free plan shows ads. Pro and Lifetime are ad-free. Why Arabi? - Dialects and Fusha in one app. Most courses teach only formal Arabic. Arabi also teaches the dialects people use at home, in shops and with friends in Egypt and the Levant, plus Fusha for reading and the news. - Made for listening. Every word and sentence has natural audio, so you learn to understand, not just to read. - Graded from beginner to advanced. Words and stories follow CEFR levels, A1 to C1. - In your language. Translations in English, German, Polish, French, Italian, Russian, Turkish, Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch. We add new words, stories and guided lessons regularly. Stories, speaking practice and audio are made with the help of AI. Arabi Pro is an auto-renewable subscription (monthly or 6-month); Lifetime is a one-time purchase that unlocks everything forever, plus the premium gold theme. Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Arabi at every 3 days against Learn Arabic (Beginners)'s monthly. Arabi also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Learn Arabic (Beginners)'s advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
