Arabic Alphabet: Quran Letters review: price, free version and privacy

Our verdict

Pick this app if you are starting from zero and want to read Arabic script, for the Quran or otherwise, for one small payment. Once you can read, move to a course for vocabulary and grammar.

What Arabic Alphabet: Quran Letters is

Arabic Alphabet: Quran Letters teaches English speakers to read Arabic with the method of the Muallim Sani textbook, according to the description. Letters come in order of difficulty rather than alphabetical order: 27 lessons, each centered on one letter and its positional forms, ending with full words. Each lesson ends with a quiz, and transliteration can be switched on or off.
