Question 1

Is this free?

Accepted Answer

Reading is free. The Madinah Arabic course, four complete national school curricula (Syrian, Palestinian, Saudi, and Egyptian, Grades 2–10), and the story books are free to read on every page — no sign-up. The study material (verb & noun tables, line-by-line translation, flashcards) is free for the first 20 pages of each book; a subscription unlocks it across the whole book. Copyrighted textbooks are not distributed here — upload your own copy to study them.

Question 2

Why use this instead of a PDF?

Accepted Answer

A PDF is inert — you can't search inside it, the answer key lives in a different file, and the dictionary is in a third tab. Here every page renders the Arabic alongside its verb table, noun table, line-by-line English, and exercise answers. Cmd+F searches the Arabic text directly; ⌘K searches every word across the whole book.

Question 3

What is the Madinah Arabic Book?

Accepted Answer

Dr. V. Abdur Rahim's three-volume course دروس اللغة العربية لغير الناطقين بها, taught at the Islamic University of Madinah. The standard self-study path into classical/Quranic Arabic for English-speaking learners. The original series is distributed freely with the author's permission, so all three books are in our library — with verb tables, noun tables, translation, and the English Key and Exercise Solutions built into each page.

Question 4

What is Al-ʿArabiyyah Bayna Yadayk?

Accepted Answer

العربية بين يديك (also written Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk, Bayna Yadayka, or Al-Arabiyya Bayna Yadayk) is the 8-book modern Arabic course from the Arabic For All institute, authored by Dr. Abdul Rahman Al-Fawzan and colleagues. Widely used by online Arabic schools, Saudi-curriculum madrasas, and self-learners moving toward fluency. It's copyrighted, so we don't distribute it — upload your own copy (PDF) to study it here with full tables, translation, and answer keys.

Question 5

What is the Palestinian Arabic Curriculum (لغتنا الجميلة)?

Accepted Answer

لغتنا الجميلة ("Our Beautiful Language") is the native-speaker Arabic language curriculum used in Palestinian schools — language, literature, and reading — from Grade 2 through Grade 10, two semesters per grade. Eighteen books in total, all free to read here. Useful for advanced learners who want to read what Arab schoolchildren actually study.

Question 6

What is the Syrian Arabic Curriculum?

Accepted Answer

The official Arabic-language curriculum of the Syrian Ministry of Education (2025–26 editions) — fifteen books covering Grade 2 through Grade 10. Reading passages, poetry, grammar (قواعد), and composition, exactly as taught in Syrian classrooms, with verb tables, noun tables, and line-by-line English on every page.

Question 7

What is the Saudi Arabic Curriculum (لغتي / الكفايات اللغوية)?

Accepted Answer

The Kingdom's official Arabic curriculum (1447 editions): لغتي ("My Language") for Grades 2–9 and الكفايات اللغوية ("Linguistic Competencies") for Grade 10 — eighteen books, two semesters per grade. The series Saudi students study in school, readable here with full study tables and translation.

Question 8

What is the Egyptian Arabic Curriculum?

Accepted Answer

The Egyptian Ministry of Education's official اللغة العربية textbooks (2025 editions) — fifteen books from Grade 2 through Grade 9. Egypt's curriculum is the most widely taught in the Arab world; reading it is a window into the Arabic that a quarter of all Arab schoolchildren grow up on.

Question 9

How is this different from Duolingo or other apps?

Accepted Answer

This isn't gamified vocab drills. It's a faithful reader for the actual textbooks Arabic teachers assign, augmented with the verb tables, noun tables, and answer keys that learners normally hunt across ten different sites. Built for self-study, classroom companion use, and going deeper than an app can.

Question 10

Does it work on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the reader is fully responsive. The page image, verb/noun tables, search, and feedback box all work on phone screens.
