1,000 words give you 80% of real Arabic conversation. Aravoca teaches them in order of how often you'll meet them — and reinforces each one inside example sentences built only from words you already know.
Traditional courses teach you "apple, cat, table" in week one. We start where real Arabic starts — and build up from there.
Every lesson pulls from a frequency-ranked corpus of real Arabic — news, dialogue, literature. You learn the highest-leverage words first, not the cutest ones.
Each new word appears in example sentences made entirely from words you've already learned. No dictionary dives. No guessing. Just comprehensible input.
Today's new word becomes tomorrow's example material. Your vocabulary builds on itself — which is exactly how fluent speakers got there.
The 100 most common Arabic words cover roughly half of everything written and said. We teach them to you in that order — so the early wins are real ones.
Every sentence you see is built from words you've already learned, plus exactly one new word. No paralysis, no lookups — just context doing its job.
Aravoca schedules reviews exactly when you're about to forget — no sooner, no later. Ten focused minutes a day keeps your growing vocabulary alive.
No credit card, no timer, no tricks. Try the first 15 words without an account, then sign up free for the first 300.
Start learning free →A frequency dictionary ranks every word in a language by how often it appears in real use. In Arabic, the top 100 words account for roughly half of everyday speech, and the top 1,000 cover about 80%. Learning in that order means every new word you pick up instantly unlocks more of what you read and hear.
Our core curriculum is Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) — the shared written language across the Arab world and the foundation most dialects build on. Aravoca does not teach a spoken dialect.
Not at all. New learners start with a short script tutorial that teaches the letters in the order they first appear in frequency-ranked vocabulary — so you're reading real words from lesson two, not drilling letter charts for weeks.
Most learners reach the top-500 mark in around 6–8 weeks at 10 minutes a day. At that point, Arabic news headlines and everyday conversation become noticeably readable — and because every example sentence is built from words you already know, you'll feel that growth from day one.
Yes. A free account gives you the first 300 words free forever, with example sentences, audio and daily reviews — and you can try the first 15 words without an account. Pro unlocks all 5,000+ words. There is no free trial and no card is needed for the free plan; if you upgrade and later cancel, the words you have already learned stay unlocked.
Yes. Aravoca is a web app that works in any modern browser, including on your phone. Your progress is saved to your account, so you can pick up where you left off on another device.
Most apps teach vocabulary in thematic clusters ("food," "colors," "animals") that rarely match what you need next. Aravoca orders words by real-world frequency and — crucially — only shows you example sentences built from words you already know, so you're never translating in your head.
