Features ยท Spaced Repetition
Spaced repetition for Arabic vocabulary
Every word you save comes back for review just before you would forget it. The ones you find hard come back sooner, and the ones you know well wait longer.
Rate it, and the schedule adjusts
See the word, try to recall it, then reveal the answer and mark it Easy, Medium or Hard. Hard words come back sooner; easy ones wait longer before you see them again.
Hints, audio and dialect comparison on every card
Ask for a hint before you give up, play the pronunciation, or check how the word is said in the other dialects without leaving the review.
Words you chose, from what you read
Your deck is built from the words you saved while reading and practicing, so you are reviewing vocabulary you have already met in context.
Common questions
What is spaced repetition?
A way of scheduling reviews so that each one happens just as you are about to forget. Each successful review pushes the next one further out, which makes words stick with far fewer repetitions than cramming.
How is this different from Anki?
It works the same way, but the cards are made for you when you save a word, with audio and transliteration, so there is nothing to build by hand. If you prefer Anki, you can download our decks too.
Is review free?
Spaced-repetition review is part of Parallel Arabic Pro, which is $10 a month. Saving words to your word bank is free.
Try it in your dialect
Egyptian, Levantine, Moroccan Darija or Modern Standard Arabic. Free to start, no card needed.
