Read full description

ArabicTyper teaches you to read and type Arabic, from the first letter. You start with alif. Seven short units cover the alphabet letter by letter. One covers tashkeel, the small marks that change a word. Eight more teach the most common words, and the last one everyday phrases and short sentences. All together that's 17 units and 36 lessons. Each lesson shows you the new letters, has you find them on the keyboard, then has you type real words from the script, from Arabizi, and from English. In between you build words from letter tiles, pick meanings, and type what you hear. You can type on the app's own Arabic keyboard or your phone's. Words you miss come back in a review queue, spaced further apart each time you get them right. A daily goal and one optional reminder keep you going. There are no accounts and no ads, and your progress stays on your phone. Lesson 1 is free. ArabicTyper Pro opens the whole course and every practice mode. ArabicTyper Pro costs $7.99 a month, $39.99 a year, or $79.99 once for lifetime. The yearly plan starts with 7 free days, and you can cancel anytime. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Terms of use: https://www.arabictyper.com/terms Privacy policy: https://www.arabictyper.com/privacy
