Free Arabic tools

Small, fast tools for the things learners actually get stuck on — writing a name in Arabic script, telling ح from خ, and typing Arabic on a keyboard that doesn't have it. Everything runs in your browser, nothing needs an account, and none of it costs anything.

Why these three

They map onto the first three walls every Arabic learner hits. You want to see your own name in the script before you commit to learning it. You need the alphabet cold before anything else works. And sooner or later you need to type Arabic — to search for something, to reply to a message, to look a word up — on a keyboard that has no Arabic on it.

If you're starting from zero, the complete beginner's guide to learning Arabic puts them in order, and Kalam Daily handles the part no tool can: turning what you've read into vocabulary you can recall.
