Everything here is one word and no longer than four letters, which is about as much as anyone can hold in their head while still hunting for keys. Start here even if your Arabic is decent — the bottleneck early on is your hands, not your vocabulary.
Difficulty here is about typing, not about how advanced the Arabic is. A four-letter word is easier to type than a nine-letter one even when you know both, so the levels follow length: short single words, then longer ones, then phrases with spaces in them.
Short enough that you can hold the whole word in your head while you hunt for the keys.
Long enough that you stop reading letter by letter and start typing in chunks.
Real phrases with spaces in them, which is where rhythm starts to matter.
You can dip into any set you like, but this is the run we would put someone through. The alphabet comes first because there is nothing to translate and your whole attention can sit on the keys. Travel comes last because its entries are the longest on the site.
Eight words takes a couple of minutes. Two of those a day will move you faster than one long sitting on a Sunday, because what you are building is a motor habit and habits want repetition more than they want volume.
Wrong keys learned quickly are still wrong keys. Go slow enough that you rarely miss, and the speed arrives on its own. Words you fumble get flagged during the session so you can see the pattern in what trips you.
Want a number instead of a feeling? The Arabic typing test gives you words per minute and accuracy over a fixed minute. And if you have no Arabic layout installed at all, the online Arabic keyboard will type into any text box in the meantime.
