What is Arabi?
Arabi turns the Arabic alphabet into a game your child will want to play.
A game that teaches
Arabi is an app for iOS and Android. It teaches children aged 4 to 10 the Arabic alphabet through short, playful games.
A journey through 28 letters
Your child travels through 39 stages. Every letter has 8 or 9 levels, with more than 15 kinds of challenges along the way.
Modern Standard Arabic
Arabi teaches Fusha, the Arabic used in books, in school and in the news.
Getting started
Four small steps and your child is ready to play.

How a lesson works
Every level is a mix of quick games. Here are the ones your child will meet.
Balloon popping
Letters float by on balloons. Your child pops the right one.
Drag-and-drop matching
Your child drags each item to the place where it belongs.
Letter tracing
Your child follows the shape of the letter with a finger to learn how it is written.
Quizzes and listen-and-choose
Your child hears a question and picks the answer. One tap plays the question again.
Pop the right balloon
Tap the letter ب (Baa)
Stars, coins and streaks
Rewards keep children coming back. Here is what each one means.
Stars for every level
Your child earns stars each time they finish a level.
Coins
Coins are collected along the way as your child plays.
The daily streak
Playing every day builds a streak. A streak freeze protects it if a day is missed.
Milestones and badges
Long streaks reach milestones, and badges mark what your child has achieved.

Energy and healthy screen time
Energy keeps play sessions short and sweet.
Each challenge uses energy
Every challenge your child plays uses a little energy.
It refills by itself
Energy comes back over time, so there is always more to play later.
Watch and earn
If your child wants to keep going, "watch & earn" gives extra energy.
