Goal: “I can have a very simple conversation.” Family, food, shopping, travel and time — the words you need to talk to real people, then practise them in scripted conversations.
Status: in development. A1 now has nine real lessons (Meeting People, Family, Daily Life, Food, Shopping, Travel, Health Basics, Weather, Plans and Appointments), each with listening, practice, speaking, a conversation and a quiz, plus the phrase bank below. All Arabic is MSA. New to Arabic? Do the Pre-A1 phrases first. Play uses your device’s text-to-speech voice, not a recording of a person.
Progress:0 of 53 phrases ticked as “I can say it”. Your progress is currently saved on this browser/device; it may be lost if you clear your browser data. The transliteration is a pronunciation aid, not a spelling. Everything here is MSA, written without vowel marks.
A1 lessons
Work through the lessons in order. Each takes you from learning phrases to speaking and a short quiz. The current lesson is highlighted.
Every A1 phrase in one place, with audio, a tick-off and a phrase check. Use it for extra practice alongside the lessons.
A1 final level check and speaking challenge
When you have finished the nine lessons, take the 20-question A1 level check, review anything you missed, then complete the speaking challenge. All three together count as A1 Complete. This is a learning check, not an official certificate.
Please note: this Arabic is standard beginner phrasing but has not yet been reviewed by a native-speaker teacher. Tell us about any mistake on the contact page.
