Learning languages is the new commodity in our late-capitalism world. It is not enough that you can do business or excel with different things. Speaking another language is a necessity in this day and age. Thankfully there is no shortage of sources for learning a new language, especially with all the apps available to learn on the go, but what about Arabic? Surprisingly there is also an abundance of apps to learn the Arabic language showing the importance of it and the value it provides to the global market and to the world in general. So here are 11 of the best Arabic language learning apps to help with your journey with this beautiful language.
Duolingo
Starting with the most famous one cause who doesn’t know Duo the Owl. Duolingo is an American language learning app and website. Users can learn multiple languages at a time with the service’s unique approach to learning which contains “trees” made specifically to fit the user’s needs and “skills” to practice with reception overtime throughout the whole learning process. The Arabic Language section in the app is pretty solid. Following the same format as any other language but tailored to fit the standards of Arabic.

FluentU
Another language learning app all the way from China. With a completely different approach, that I personally prefer and recommend to other language learners. Which is learning a language by example. Or as said on the FluentU website “We learn best through rich, engaging experiences.” The service offers just that through content from around the country in which you’re learning the language. From news outlets, entertainment, and even interviews, you will find yourself immersed in the language and learning it as an afterthought in the back of your mind while enjoying international content. And that is the case with all the languages offered on the app including Arabic.

Just famous as Duolingo, Rosetta Stone offers what they call a “Dynamic Immersion” experience in learning languages. It is named rightfully so since the app uses photos, videos, and different content from around the country’s language to teach grammar and vocabulary using spaced repetition without translation. This unique approach mixing between Duolingo’s and FlunetU’s is truly a powerful way to learn Arabic amongst the many languages they offer.

This one is specifically made for learning the Arabic alphabet. Users can expect a thorough learning experience that will set the 28 letters in stone. Ensuring that the learning process is uninterrupted once learners get to a higher level.
Busuu
Another international app that offers Arabic in addition to the array of languages available. Busuu is unique in the way that it offers the learning experience through interacting with native speakers.
