Learn Arabic Together

A little Arabic, every day.

Simple practice activities for English-speaking beginners and families. Choose a letter, count familiar objects or find a new word together.

Look, listen and find a letter

Choose one Arabic letter in the app. Look carefully at its shape and dots, listen to its name and say it together. Look at the example words and choose a picture to remember.

On a blank sheet of paper, copy the letter large enough to notice its shape. Try finding it again in the app without using the English label. Return to the same letter before adding another. Letter shapes can change when joined in words, so begin with recognition rather than assuming every form looks identical.

Try it together

  1. Feature 1

    Take turns finding the same letter in the grid.

  2. Feature 2

    Compare two letters and look for differences in their dots.

  3. Feature 3

    Listen to an example word, then point to its picture.

Count things you can touch

Gather up to ten safe, familiar objects such as books or blocks. Choose a number from 0 to 10, listen to its Arabic name, then move that many objects into a group.

Compare the group with the quantity shown in the app. Remove everything to explore zero. Let the learner choose the next number instead of always counting upwards.

Change the activity

  1. Feature 1

    Match an Arabic-Indic numeral to a group of objects.

  2. Feature 2

    Cover the screen after listening and make the quantity from memory.

  3. Feature 3

    Swap roles: one person chooses a number and the other counts.

Bring everyday vocabulary into the room

Choose a topic such as food, animals or home. Start with a small selection of words. Listen to each one, repeat it and connect it with a real object, toy or picture.

After a few repetitions, let one person say a word and the other point to its match. If you are unsure of a sound, replay the audio and practise together without turning it into a test.

Keep practice relaxed

End while the learner still wants another turn. Revisit familiar words, allow pauses and make room for questions. Adults can join in as beginners too.

These activities need no account or downloaded worksheet. Use ordinary paper for drawing and copying. A teacher or fluent speaker can help with pronunciation and handwriting when you want more guidance.
