Learn to type Arabic
and feel the words you read.
Build a vocabulary of real Arabic, diacritics and all, with audio and a gentle on-screen keyboard. Type the Arabizi you already know; we'll teach your fingers the script.
Three movements, like learning a song.
See it
Each card shows the Arabizi spelling and English translation. The Arabic appears faded — your guide, not the answer.
Type it
Use a real Arabic keyboard if you have one, or our onscreen one. Every key shows its English shortcut.
Hear it
Words you stumble on come back. Audio pronunciation for every word, and no streaks or badges.
Those three movements repeat across sixteen lessons of Arabic typing practice, split into three difficulty levels so the words lengthen as your hands catch up.
From the same maker: Tfaddalu teaches spoken Palestinian Arabic with the same patience. If your goal is conversation, start there.
Pick a theme. Start typing.

22One small system tweak, and your laptop speaks Arabic.
Every OS ships with an Arabic keyboard layout built in. Our guides walk you through turning it on and learning the standard 101 layout, plus the shortcut that toggles between scripts.

Arabizi (or “Franco-Arabic”) writes Arabic with Latin letters and numerals — the digits stand in for sounds English can't spell. We use it as a phonetic bridge so you can read a word before you can read the script.
