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

Arabi helps you build your listening and reading skills in Egyptian, Levantine or Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha), so your speaking and pronunciation come faster. 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: - Swipe through new words in the discovery feed. Every card has natural audio in male and female voices, a translation and an example sentence. Free: 10 new words a day. - Stories: listen to short stories at your level, with natural audio and subtitles in your language. Keep listening with your screen locked. * Write a prompt and get your own exciting narrated stories, to learn on your own terms. ** - Tap a word you don’t know to hear it and see its meaning, then save it to practice later. * - 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, collections and your progress with friends. * Requires Pro or Lifetime (some stories are free to try). ** Uses diamonds, sold separately as in-app purchases. 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 and stories regularly. Stories 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.
