What’s better than using Joode: Арабский алфавит за 2 часа by Nursultan Askarbekuly? Well, try it on a big screen, on your PC or Mac, with BlueStacks to see the difference.

So Joode is an app you mess around with if you want to finally figure out the Arabic alphabet, even if you’re starting from scratch. It splits things up into these small lessons — just a few letters at a time, so it never feels overwhelming. Each section takes you through writing the letters, copying them first and then remembering them on your own, plus there’s some practice on the sounds so you actually know how to say what you’re seeing. There are little game-like activities thrown in, so it doesn’t get too dry, and the whole thing feels more interactive than just a basic workbook.

The cool part is it’s set up with teachers in mind too, since it works for anyone who wants to go over the material outside of lessons. Everything’s bite-sized, so it fits into a quick break or a longer session, whatever works. When you play through it on BlueStacks, you can even make use of your computer if you prefer a bigger screen or typing, not just tapping away on your phone. It takes about two hours to get through all the letters according to the app, which is nice if you want to actually see progress pretty fast. For now, it focuses on the alphabet, but apparently, they’re planning to add reading practice later on. Basically, if getting the basics of Arabic letters has always felt impossible or too intimidating, this one tries to break it down and give you a way to finally get going.

BlueStacks brings your apps to life on a bigger screen—seamless and straightforward.
