Yes, arabee is very easy to navigate and makes learning as easy as 123. There are friendly icons that guide users to use the content so you don't need to be able to read Arabic.

Minimal supervision is required for children as young as 3 years old. arabee is designed with simple navigation and audio instructions that helps little ones facilitate independent learning. There are NO ads on arabee to distract the learner.

How long should my child spend on arabee?

We recommend 15-20minutes learning time per day. arabee’s fun videos and interactive games are short and easy to use, making it exciting for your child to get onto the programme, learn something new, practice or finish a session within a short time.

What curriculum does arabee follow?

arabee is aligned to the UAE Ministry of Education framework for learning Arabic and Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (https://www.coe.int/lang-CEFR) standards. Regardless of the curriculum any child follows, Arabic is a living language and after completing all arabee levels, users are able to easily converse in Arabic on many subjects such as family, animals, cultures, explain their emotions & feelings and more.

How can I tell if arabee is a good programme for learning Arabic?

All children have different learning patterns and a different pace in absorbing information. arabee provides a variety of mediums to appeal to all learners. Like all educational subjects, learning a language requires regular study and revision.  Exposing your child to language media such as Arabic news or cartoons will assist them with their learning and they will begin to pick out words and structures. How much your child learns and retains will depend on how much time he/she spends studying and using Arabic. We have made the arabee programme fun with games to reinforce the concepts, this makes learning enjoyable for children and they don’t pay attention to the time. 

As a non-Arabic speaker how will I know when my child is proficient in Arabic?

Like any language when someone is able to hold a conversation in Arabic, they are proficient to a specified level. 

What type of content does arabee offer?

arabee’s online content includes videos with phonics, listening and speaking. There are interactive games, songs, digital books, stories, practice exercises and printable worksheets. 
New resources are being added as they are developed. If you have any suggestions for activities such as games or resources or have an opinion about an existing one, please feel free to tell us about it. You can email us at [email protected] or use the form on the contact us page. We are always happy to hear from our busy bees.

How does the content unlock mechanism work?

arabee's content is presented in a pre-set order and is unlocked as the child progresses and moves through the content.
