Learn Arabic for free: a 90-day plan

You can go from not knowing a single letter to reading simple Arabic stories in three months, without paying anything. This plan needs 15 to 20 minutes a day. Your progress on Harf saves in your browser, so you can pick up where you left off.

Days 1–10: the alphabet

Learn three letters a day on the alphabet pages: their sound, their four shapes and one example word. Trace each one on the writing practice page. On day 10, take the letters quiz on the quiz page. If you score 8 or more out of 10, move on.

Days 11–30: your first sentences

Take one grammar lesson every two days, starting with this is… By day 30 you will have done about ten lessons and can say things like “this is a big house” and “where is the book?”. Alongside, learn one vocabulary topic a week with the flashcards.

Days 31–60: verbs and reading

Continue the lessons into past and present verbs. Start reading: the easy stories are vowelled and let you tap any word for its meaning. Read one story a week aloud, twice. Add the everyday phrases and use them whenever you can.

Days 61–90: grow and review

Finish the remaining lessons at your own pace. Move to the classic tales with word-by-word translation. Take the level test again to see how far you have come. If the Quran is your goal, start the Quran roots list, three roots a day.

Daily habits that make the difference

Say every word out loud; the Listen button on every Arabic word is there for that. Little and often beats long sessions at the weekend. Review before you learn something new: five minutes of old flashcards first. And use what you learn: label things around your home, or write one sentence a day with the Arabic keyboard.

When you get stuck

Grammar that does not make sense today often clicks a week later, so do not stop. Re-read the lesson, then look only at the examples. If a sound is hard, listen to the letter page again and copy it slowly. And remember why you started; write it down and keep it where you can see it.
