Arabic School Software (for beginners)

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffJune 6, 2005This program offers basic training for people who want to learn Arabic. Arabic School is oriented for total newcomers. You will be able to learn the alphabet, numbers, and the names of some animals and vegetables. You also can learn to write these words, for once you press on a letter, number, or animal the program voice pronounces the word and a hand writes it in Arabic. We really like the animated, cartoon icons, which help to make learning more fun, and you can set the drawing hand's animation speed. In spite of its nice design, though, some users may find the app's 45MB footprint a bit hefty. The program does not teach you grammar or how to form sentences, which seems to be the next level of learning the language. It's also unfortunate you only can test the app for a short five days and only can access a limited amount of words. Arabic School will provide you with an easy, detailed, and colorful introduction to the Arabic language, provided you can live with the aforementioned issues.
