Arabic and English, side by side

Each line of Arabic sits above its English, so you read the actual text instead of a translation of it. When the help starts to feel slow, switch to Arabic-only.

Tap any word you don’t know

One tap opens its meaning, a short grammar note, and native audio — and drops it into your practice deck. No dictionary, no losing your place on the page.

Say the word out loud

Recall each word by speaking it — tap the mic and the app listens and grades you. It’s the difference between recognising a word and actually owning it.

Spaced repetition makes it stick

Every word you tap joins a deck that brings it back right before you’d forget it. Your memory strength climbs a little more with each short session.
