Arabyati review
A six-level, four-skill MSA course for independent learners, from $5 per month.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Arabyati is a mobile Arabic-learning app for non-native speakers studying contemporary communicative Arabic independently. Its six-level curriculum runs from beginner to advanced, and learners can take a placement test or choose where to start. The course combines Modern Standard Arabic with common everyday usage rather than teaching a specific regional dialect. It is aimed at learners studying for work, study, travel or everyday communication, with practice across listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Lessons pair animated videos with interactive exercises and recap reels, while AI-supported hints, explanations and answers offer guidance during exercises. Progress tracking covers lessons, exercise results and performance, and the interface is available in 17 languages. That makes the app a focused option for learners who want a structured course with feedback and a way to follow their progress. It is less suited to someone specifically seeking a regional dialect course or a desktop learning experience: Arabyati is available on iOS and Android, and its dialect focus is MSA.
The published plans show two paid options: Monthly costs $5 per month, while Annual costs $30 per year; both provide paid access to the app. The pricing page says store prices may vary by country and currency. Arabyati offers one free lesson, but there is no separate free trial. For a learner comfortable paying for mobile access, the annual plan is the lower-cost listed option over a year; someone looking for an ongoing free plan should choose another app. The app's stated support channel is email, and its deployment is mobile-only.
