Welcome to Arabic!

You will learn the alphabet one letter at a time, each with a picture to help you remember it. Here is your first letter!

اArm

An Arm raises straight up.

Arm starts with the sound aa. That's how you say ا.

Most letters work this way: the picture's name starts with the letter's sound.
