Arabic Alphabet is not only fun, but also accurate, because it was developed by a native Arabic speaker, and all audio samples were recorded by a college professor of Arabic. The app is available in English and Arabic, with full right-to-left support. "I was born and raised in Morocco with Arabic as my language of origin. When I moved to America, I wanted to be sure that I didn't lose my identity and my culture. After my first son was born, this became even more important to me as I want him to understand the importance of his heritage. I developed Arabic Alphabet so that adults and children alike could have a fun way to accurately learn the foundations of the language. I hope you enjoy it!" (from the developer) With a little practice, you'll learn to recognize and write the Arabic alphabet in no time!
