Where to start learning Arabic

Arabic looks hard, but in the right order it goes step by step.

First learn the 28 letters and how they are written. Then move to the most common words. Leave grammar for later, once words feel familiar.

15–20 minutes a day beats a few long sessions a week.

  • Letters: learn the 28 letters and their start, middle and end forms.
  • Words: start with everyday verbs, nouns and adjectives.
  • Dialogues: read short conversations out loud.
  • Verbs: learn past, present and imperative forms.
  • Review: do short daily review with cards.

The Nibras Arabic app is made for Azerbaijani speakers: writing practice for 28 letters, 704 verbs, 200 nouns, 100 adjectives and 186 dialogues. Content is kept on the device, so you can review offline.
