About Learn Arabic With AI: Mubtada
You can read the Qur'an. Nobody ever showed you how its grammar works: how words grow from a three-letter root, how a sentence is put together, how a verb carries its time. Mubtada is an AI Arabic grammar (naḥw) tutor that writes every lesson around what you already know, so the words you recite start to make sense. START WHERE YOU ARE No beginner loop and no test. Tell Hādī, your tutor, how much Arabic you have, then mark the topics you already know on a map of 76. Hādī takes your word for it, and your lessons begin at the first thing you haven't marked. LESSONS WRITTEN FOR YOU Every ten-minute lesson is written for you, not pulled from a fixed course. Hādī teaches one idea at a time, the way a teacher works at a board: every Arabic word is marked, transliterated and translated, its root is shown, and Ism, Fi'l and Ḥarf, the three families of words, stand beside the words they name. SEE IT IN A VERSE YOU KNOW Tap any word of a verse you recite to see its family, its root and its meaning. Your first sentence, al-ḥamdu lillāh, is taken apart before you even sign up. PRACTICE THAT EXPLAINS ITSELF Sort words into their families, pick the right form of a word, parse a whole sentence, or answer in your own words. Every answer comes back with the reason it is right or wrong, and when you write, Hādī reads what you wrote. THE WHOLE GRAMMAR, IN ORDER Seventy-six topics covering the essential grammar of Qur'anic Arabic, from ism, fi'l and ḥarf to the nominal sentence, the three cases, iḍāfa, the verbal sentence, and inna and its sisters, each opening in the order the language requires. ASK HĀDĪ ANYTHING A tutor who knows your path and the verse in front of you. Ask about a word, a rule or a line you recite, and the answer comes at your level. REVIEW WHEN IT'S DUE Topics and words come back for review when you are about to forget them. One reminder a day, at the hour you choose, only on days you haven't studied. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who reads vocalized Arabic: if you can read the muṣḥaf, you're ready. Mubtada is not a reading course. The first screen checks that honestly and, if you're not there yet, points you to a reading (Qā'idah) course instead of selling you a subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase, after any free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings at any time. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
