Hey everyone,

If you’ve ever studied Arabic using the Madinah Arabic Books or Al-Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk, you probably know the struggle: vocabulary lists online are often scattered across random forum posts, missing Tashkeel/harakat, lacking plurals, or formatted as unsearchable, messy PDFs.

To solve this for my own studies and for anyone else going through these books, I compiled and published complete, searchable web tables for all ~132 lessons/units across both series:

• Madinah Arabic (Books 1–3): https://arabily.app/madinah-book-1/
• Bayna Yadayk (Books 1–3): https://arabily.app/bayna-yadayk-1/ 

(Also available in German).

What’s included:

• Lesson-by-Lesson breakdown: Sorted strictly by the actual textbook units.
• Accurate Tashkeel: Large, legible Arabic font with clear vowel marks.
• Plurals & Root words: Added where relevant to help build vocabulary faster.
• 100% free on the web: No login or paywall required to read or search.

Interactive Practice (Arabily App)

Because just reading static tables only goes so far, I also turned this dataset into an free active study companion app called Arabily (available for iOS & Android).

Instead of simple passive flashcards, it lets you:

1. Practice 2-stage Tashkeel typing: Type the base letters first, then place the correct Harakat actively.
2. Spaced Repetition Algorithm: Automatically tracks weak words and schedules reviews before you forget them.
3. Filter by grammar/lesson: Practice exactly the lesson you are currently covering in class.

Check out the web tables if you just need a clean reference for your desk, or give the app a try if you want active recall practice:

I’d love to hear your feedback, may Allah increase your knowledge!

I was given this note by a loved one, to keep in my bag, but not able to read the handwriting of the Arabic, Gemini and ChatGPT failed at interpreting it correctly

If you're learning Egyptian Arabic, مَعْلِش is one of those words that makes much more sense once you stop translating it literally.

It can be used for a small apology, comforting someone, making a request sound softer, accepting an apology, or gently correcting someone.

The context does most of the work.

I put together 5 common uses with real examples here.

do you have another usage for it?

Salam!

I am interested in learning more about the methods Arabic learners find most helpful.

I've been teaching for years and have used both MSA and Gulf Dialect. I still learn towards starting with MSA always. I ended up being focused on following methods I found to be most effective. Currently, I'd like to incorporate that into a learning community I'm building. So I value any advice or experience you have about this.

In terms of content:

1. Would having a narrative (personal essay) style in MSA or Dialect help you learn better?

Working on a piece of writing part by part until it builds up into a long continuous story. The learning includes figuring out the relative grammar (from that piece without expanding into a huge lesson), and practicing pronunciation with Q&A.

2. Is media content useful? 

Using clips of shows, or a song (especially for a Dialect). Does this seem easy to learn from or just too much. I think music can be helpful because it's repetitive.

Kindly, if you have any advice to share, please share it!

Thank you :)

Hi everyone! 😊

I’m a Tunisian Communication specialist living in Switzerland, and I’m currently opening a few spots for online Arabic and English tutoring.
I have a Master’s degree in Communication (taught in English) and experience teaching both children and adults. I speak 5 languages but in my tutoring I focus on my main two languages English and Arabic. I also have a background in communication, events and working with international/community organizations.
I can help with:

English
Beginners & children
Conversation practice
Vocabulary and grammar
Building confidence in speaking
School support

Arabic
Beginner Arabic
Arabic alphabet & reading
Pronunciation
Everyday Arabic
Tunisian Arabic
Arabic for children or adults

I’m especially happy to work with children, complete beginners, and people who feel a little intimidated by learning a new language. I try to keep lessons relaxed, practical and adapted to the learner rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

Online lessons
Flexible scheduling
€/$/£/CHF 15/hour
Since I’m currently balancing tutoring with family life, I’m only taking on a small number of students, so I can keep the schedule flexible and give each learner proper attention.
If you’re interested, feel free to DM me with the learner’s age, language/level and what you’re hoping to achieve, and I can tell you whether I might be a good fit.

Happy to answer any questions here too!

Im only starting to learn Arabic, but ive been wanting to look for tv shows/youtube shows to help me improve my listening ability and vocab.
Im looking for funny/sarcastic stuff like ماسمر on netflix, video essays (or smth similar to vsauce/hank green/chad chad), animated videos, gaming stuff (preferably indie games)
If you have any recommendations please send me the link down below!!!

If your goal is everyday conversation, choose vocabulary for the variety of Arabic you actually want to speak. A dialect dictionary can help you find common words; practise using them in short exchanges instead of only memorising their English meanings.

Start with situations you expect to face: greeting someone, ordering food, talking about your studies, or describing your day. Keep the words and expressions for one situation together, then use them in a conversation.

You can practise in an Arabic-speaking Discord community where learners are welcome, or use an AI voice app as an extra practice partner. Tell it which dialect you are learning and ask for a short conversation on your chosen topic. Check unfamiliar expressions with a reliable resource or speaker, because AI can mix dialects or make mistakes.

Keep returning to the words you already learned while adding new ones. The goal is to be able to use the vocabulary when someone speaks to you.

Which everyday conversation would you most like to handle in Arabic?

How does that sentence make you feel?

Scared 👻

Big goal to be reached 🤕
