New: meet Hudhud, your Arabic coach. Speak with an AI tutor, get every sound corrected, and finally understand the Arabic you pray in. Start your free trial today.
Learn Arabic by speaking it from day one. Start with the alphabet, order a coffee in your first Level 1 lesson, and by the end of Level 2, tell someone your own story.
Takallam teaches Fus'ha, also called Modern Standard Arabic (MSA): the Arabic of the Quran, the khutbah, the news and books, understood across the Arab world. It is built for English speakers, from complete beginners to learners who can read the letters but not the meaning.
LEARN THE ARABIC ALPHABET
New to Arabic script? Level 0 teaches the Arabic letters from scratch, with audio for every sound, before you move on to words and conversation.
SPEAK ARABIC FROM THE FIRST LESSON
Level 1 opens with "I Want Coffee". From there you greet people, introduce yourself, talk about your family, go shopping, describe your day and tell stories in the past and future.
AN AI ARABIC TUTOR AT YOUR LEVEL
Practise every conversation with an AI tutor that replies in Arabic at your level, waits when you need time and never gets tired of repeating itself. Hudhud, your Arabic coach, builds your learning plan and keeps you moving from one lesson to the next.
ARABIC PRONUNCIATION, CORRECTED
Say the word out loud and get scored on it. See which sound was off, hear it said properly, and try again: the kind of feedback you would normally need a teacher for.
A STRUCTURED ARABIC COURSE, NOT A GAME
An alphabet level plus more than 50 units of Arabic lessons across three levels, designed by Arabic teachers and sequenced so each one builds on the last. Greetings, food and drink, family, the market, numbers, time and days, weather, health, home and guests.
ARABIC GRAMMAR WITHOUT THE TEXTBOOK
Make a mistake and you get a short explanation on the spot, in plain English and in context, then straight back to the lesson.
VOCABULARY REVIEW THAT ADAPTS TO YOU
Takallam tracks the Arabic words you are forgetting and brings them back before they are gone. Five minutes a day is enough to hold ground.
QURANIC ARABIC STARTS WITH FUS'HA
Fus'ha is the language of the Quran, so the grammar and vocabulary you build for everyday conversation are the same ones you hear in salah. Every lesson brings you a step closer to understanding what you recite.
WHO IT IS FOR
- Arabic for beginners, right down to the first letter
- Anyone who wants to speak Arabic, not just tap through flashcards

I need to be honest.I hate learning Arabic.Not in a dramatic poetic way. In a very real, very stubborn, “my brain immediately wants snacks instead” kind of way.Every time I try, one of three things happens:1. I suddenly remember I should reorganize my entire life. 2. I decide sleep is actually very important for my future. 3. My ADHD says, “What if instead… we simply ✨don’t✨?”So my expectations for this app were… low. Like “I’ll open it for 30 seconds, feel guilty, and close it” low.I opened it while getting into bed. You know… the classic ‘just checking’ lie we all tell ourselves.Anyway.Next thing I know… it’s midnight. I finished a full lesson. And I’m sitting there confused like:“Why am I… enjoying this?? Who approved this?? Is this legal???”Because normally learning Arabic for me feels like: My brain buffering … But this app???Everything is clear, simple, and somehow… my brain didn’t run away. Which, if you have ADHD, you know is basically a medical miracle.Like… where was the suffering? the dramatic sighing? the sudden desire to start a completely different life path instead of studying?Gone.Instead I was just… learning. Calmly. At midnight. On purpose.Very suspicious behavior from me.I kept waiting for the moment my brain would say “okay that’s enough productivity for today, let’s scroll nonsense now.”But it never came.Whoever designed this app clearly understands two types of people:1. People who hate studying 2. People whose attention span is held together by vibes and dua And somehow… they built something that works for both.So yeah.Do I still hate learning Arabic in general? Emotionally… yes.But do I hate this app?…unfortunately no. And that feels like personal growth, which I did NOT sign up for.10/10. Very rude of them to make learning this easy. Now I might actually have to become disciplined or something.
Section not visible

I have the free trial, it is about to end but I am very happy with the pace, organization and the method to reinforce learning. However, when recording speech on longer phrases there the section with the phrase is not visible when there is an error. The correct sections of the phrase is highlighted in green as well as the incorrect parts, is covered by a larger box, a prompt that tells you which part of the phrase is incorrect. Additionally, as beginner that prompt tells you the incorrect word in Arabic which sometimes is not easily easy to recognize. I appreciated the prompt as it tells you the sound that is wrong but I cannot read the alphabet yet. There is only one opportunity to click to hear the phrase and that can leave me guessing the correct sound . I would like to continue learning after the trail ends but I am afraid this issue may be a problem further down the road. Thank you
ITS SO GOOD!

This is literally the best Arabic and language app in general I’ve used to far! Please keep going this will be a great resource for the ummah. I really like the conversational Arabic. It’s interactive and makes learning it fun without being boring and long. If you guys figure out a nice way to add a section or a way to learn Quranic terms it would be amazing too. Im excited to see the hud hud talking bird. I used to have an Arabic teacher in the past that would have a beginner Arabic conversation with me in the past which was beneficial, if this is like that it’ll be so useful.
Amazing customer service
Aiaa1900
I had initially an issue as the app stopped working after about two weeks. However, the customer support team eventually reached out, sincerely apologized for the delayed response, and immediately offered a solution to address the issue.I truly appreciate how gracious, understanding, and professional they have been throughout the process. They took my concerns seriously and made an effort to make things right, which I genuinely respect.While the initial experience was frustrating, I’m happy with how the team handled the situation afterward. Their willingness to acknowledge the issue, apologize, and offer a resolution made a positive difference.Thank you to the team for following up and working to resolve the matter. I appreciate the effort and commitment to customer satisfaction!
