Rafiq helps you learn and remember Arabic vocabulary and sentences — with spoken audio, spaced repetition that brings words back just before you forget them, and conversations to practise saying full sentences aloud. Works alongside any book or course.
Four sections you can use together or on their own.
All 779 words (Books 1&2 plus the preparatory level), most with audio. A daily practice session and a multiple-choice test, both scheduled by spaced repetition so words return just as they start to fade.
36 conversations across 12 units. Listen, repeat aloud, then rebuild each line from memory — closing the gap between knowing words and actually saying them.
Verb patterns and conjugation practice, drilled the same way — little and often, rather than memorised in one sitting.
The joining words that turn a list of facts into a paragraph, with examples showing each one in use.
Every word and sentence you answer is scheduled to come back at a widening interval — a day, then a few days, then a week, then longer. Get something wrong and it returns sooner. This is spaced repetition, and it is the most reliable way we know of moving vocabulary into long-term memory. Your daily load is capped so you are never faced with a wall of reviews, and the number of new words a day adjusts to the level you choose when you sign up.
Rafiq is a companion, not a replacement. It doesn't teach Arabic from scratch or follow any one curriculum — it gives you a faster way to drill the vocabulary and sentences you're already learning, whoever you're learning them from. Vowel marks and model answers are a study aid — worth checking against your teacher, especially case endings.
