Speak Arabic a little every day and you'll be surprised how fast it adds up. This app is built around one simple idea: show up daily, follow the plan, and let the structure do the heavy lifting for you. If you've ever wondered how to speak Arabic but didn't know where to start, this app gives you a clear answer. Each day you get a focused set of Arabic words to study, a step-by-step session to work through, and a streak to keep you coming back. No guesswork, no overwhelming word lists. Just a consistent routine that actually fits into a busy day. What You Can Do Home Dashboard: See your daily plan the moment you open the app. Your streak and weekly activity are right there so you always know where you stand. Daily Word Learning Plan: Every day you get a small set of Arabic words to study. You work through them in short, focused steps, with related phrases and quick practice built in. Finish the plan, keep your streak alive. Words Module: Study Arabic words with flashcards, image-to-word matching, quizzes, example sentences, and fill-in-the-blank exercises. Practice typing, dictation, listening-based quizzes, and word production so you're working the language from every angle. Phrasebook: Browse phrases organized by category. Listen to them, take listening quizzes, and practice phrase dictation. It covers 30 categories so you can learn to speak Arabic in real, everyday situations. Recall Module: Spaced repetition (SRS) keeps your Arabic vocabulary fresh by scheduling reviews at the right time, so you remember what you've learned instead of forgetting it a week later. Statistics: Track your study sessions and see your progress over time. Knowing how far you've come makes it easier to keep going. Offline Support: Content is available offline so you can keep studying Arabic words even when you don't have a connection. Base vs. Premium The Base plan covers the full core experience. You can follow the daily learning routine, study Arabic words with the standard exercises, listen to 5 phrases per category across all 30 categories in the Phrasebook, review with SRS, and check your stats. Premium adds deeper practice tools for people who want to move faster. You get advanced Words features including Weak Spot, Speed Test, and Matching, plus the full 100 phrases per category in the Phrasebook. You also unlock Sentence Search, Sentence Review, and Listening Lab for a more complete Arabic learning experience. Who It's For This app works well if you're a beginner trying to build an Arabic vocabulary from scratch, or if you've studied before and want a structured way to review and keep improving. The daily plan format makes it easy to stay consistent, which is honestly the hardest part of learning any language. If your goal is to speak Arabic more confidently, understand more of what you hear, and actually remember the Arabic words you study, this app gives you the tools and the routine to make that happen.

Khatt teaches you to write Arabic by hand, one stroke at a time. Short lessons take you from alif to hamza: watch each letter being written, trace it, copy it, then write it from memory, while Khatt checks your writing the way a teacher would. LEARN STEP BY STEP • A path of short lessons with XP, a daily goal and streaks. • All 36 letters: the 28 letters, hamza and its seats, tā' marbūṭa and alif maqṣūra, in every positional form. • Quick games between writing exercises: pick the letter, tap what you hear, match the pairs. • Spaced repetition brings letters back just before you would forget them. FEEDBACK ON EVERY STROKE • Stroke order, direction, missing dots, proportions and stray ink are all checked. • After each check your ink slides onto the model, so you see exactly where you went wrong. • Place dots with a single tap. WRITE HADITH • 22 short, authentic hadith to write word by word. The page glides along the line, so even a long sentence is easy. • Finish with a levha in your own handwriting. • Every hadith is checked against two copies of the Sunnah.com collection and shown with its reference, grade and published English translation. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • A manuscript-inspired design with the sound of a reed pen on paper. • With Apple Pencil: pressure-sensitive ink, palm rejection and double-tap to undo. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets and an optional daily reminder. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Khatt is available in English, Arabic, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay, Urdu, Persian, Bengali and French. Hadith meanings are shown in their published English translation. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Khatt works fully offline. There is no account, no ads and no tracking, and your progress stays on your device.
