The Arabic library
رحلة إلى بغداد
The Arabic library is live: a chapter-graded retelling of Kalila wa Dimna that starts at A1 and grows to B1. The first book is free — no card, no account needed to start reading.
How it works
Reading is the method.
No drills, no streak guilt, no cartoon owl. You read real stories, and the app quietly removes everything that used to make that hard.
Tap any word
An instant gloss with romanization for every script — no dictionary detour, no losing your place in the story.
Tap a sentence
See the full translation only when you want it. Understanding stays a choice, not a crutch.
Listen along
Every catalog book is also an audiobook. Native narration highlights each word as it's spoken — karaoke for reading.
Read-along audio
Every book is also an audiobook.
- Native-quality narration for every catalog book, chapter by chapter — included, not an add-on.
- Karaoke highlighting. The word being spoken lights up as you read, so your ear and eye learn together.
- Your pace. Slow it to 0.5× while you're starting out, push past 1× when you're flying. Tap any sentence to replay it.
- Offline too. Download the audio with the book and listen anywhere.
Questions
Fair questions, straight answers.
Is the Arabic course suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. The first reader uses short A1 sentences, and every word translates with a tap.
Is Arabic available now?
Yes — the Arabic graded reader is live in the app, and the first book is free.
Is it free?
The first book in every language is completely free — no account, no card. A Pro subscription later unlocks the rest of each library.
How is this different from flashcards?
Flashcards teach words in isolation; stories teach them in context, with grammar and collocations attached. ReadNative tracks your vocabulary automatically while you read, so you get the measurable progress of an SRS without the grind. And if you love Anki, every book exports a ready-made deck.
Also on ReadNative
One subscription, every language.
Every language gets the same treatment: a graded ladder of real books, tap-to-translate, audio narration and vocabulary tracking.
