Room Hunt
A vocabulary game set in real rooms. Step into a kitchen, a bathroom or a restaurant and learn what everything is called, a few words at a time, then find each thing when you hear "Where is the…?" in your dialect.
Scenarios
Short spoken conversations in places you will actually be. A taxi driver asks where you are going, a market seller tells you the price, a pharmacist asks what hurts. You answer in Arabic, and what you ask for turns up.
Word Scramble
A spelling game for Arabic words. You get the meaning and the letters, shuffled. Tap them back into order, and the answer joins up as you go, the way Arabic letters connect in real writing.
Odd One Out
Four Arabic words: three share something, one doesn’t. Sometimes it’s the meaning, sometimes the grammar: gender, singular or plural, or the three-letter root the words are built from. Every answer comes with the reason.
Spot the Mistake
Each Arabic sentence has one word that doesn’t fit: an adjective in the wrong gender, a verb that doesn’t match its subject, a plural that should be singular. Find it, then see the corrected sentence and the rule behind it.
Sentence Scramble
A word-order game for Arabic. You see what a sentence means in English and its words in a jumble. Tap them into the right order and learn how a sentence in your dialect is put together.
Memory Pairs
The card game you know, with Arabic words. Twelve cards, six pairs: turn two over at a time and find each Arabic word’s English meaning. Switch to Sound and match the word to its recording instead.
Speed Round
Sixty seconds on the clock. You see an Arabic word next to an English meaning: is it right or wrong? Answer as fast as you can. Five right in a row doubles your points, ten triples them, and one miss resets the streak.
Listen & Spell
A listening game for the letters that sound alike. Hear a word, recorded by a native speaker, and pick its spelling from four. One of the wrong answers is always close: the same word with س for ص, or ك for ق.
Letter Hunt
Most Arabic letters change shape depending on where they sit in a word. This game drills all of them: see a letter in its middle or end form and name it, pick how a letter is written at the start of a word, or hear a sound and find its letter.
Dialect Match
The same thing is said many different ways. “What?” is إيه in Cairo, شو in Beirut, شنو in Casablanca and ماذا in Fusha. Read a word or hear a recording and say which dialect it is, or pick how one dialect says it. After every answer you see all four.
Fill the Gap
Everyday Arabic sentences with one word missing. Read the sentence and its meaning, then pick the word that fits from four. Only one makes sense: the others are the wrong food, the wrong time or the wrong kind of word. Signed in, you can have the sentences built around words you’ve saved.
Shadowing
Shadowing is the simplest speaking drill there is: listen to a native speaker and say exactly what they said, the way they said it. Every line here is a recorded phrase people actually use, from ordering in a café to asking a taxi driver to stop. Say it, and see a score out of 100.
Verb Blitz
Arabic verbs change for every person and tense: عاش is “he lived”, عاشت “she lived”, بيعيش “he lives”. Each question gives you a verb, a person and a tense, and you pick the right form from four. 200 everyday verbs, past, present and future, including the negative.
Daily Root
Most Arabic words grow from a root of three letters. ك ت ب is to do with writing, and from it come كاتب (writer), كتاب (book) and مكتب (office). Each day brings a new root and clues in English. Build each word from letter tiles. After a try, green means right letter, right place; yellow means right letter, wrong place.
Vocabulary Quiz
A quiz built fresh each time, in your dialect and at your level. Answer by reading, listening or speaking, with single words or whole sentences.
Common questions
Do games actually help you learn Arabic?
Yes, as practice. Every round makes you recall a word, a spelling or a word order rather than just recognise it, and recalling is what makes vocabulary stick. Pair them with reading and speaking, which the games do not replace.
How long does a round take?
A few minutes. A round is five words in Word Scramble, eight sentences in Sentence Scramble, and ten puzzles or sentences in the others.
Do the words I get wrong come back?
Sign in and they do: in Word Scramble, Speed Round and Listen & Spell, the words you miss go into your review, so a bad round still teaches you something.
How are the games different from each other?
Word Scramble trains spelling and how letters join. Odd One Out trains meaning and grammar patterns. Spot the Mistake and Sentence Scramble train grammar and word order in full sentences. The Vocabulary Quiz mixes reading, listening and speaking.
