Our Method
We use a technique rooted in language acquisition research to weave Arabic words naturally inside English text you already understand. No memorising words in isolation. Just real Islamic texts that gradually become Arabic as you learn.
The Problem
You have probably tried flashcard apps before. You memorised fifty words, forgot forty, and still could not read a single line of Quran without a translation.
That is because isolated vocabulary does not build reading ability. Your brain needs context. Think about the way you learned your first language, the way children learn. Not by studying word lists, but by encountering words naturally in sentences, hearing them used over and over in real situations, until they stuck.
Nuqta takes the same approach with Arabic. As you progress through four immersion levels, you gradually unlock more words and deeper layers of comprehension. You start with just nouns, then verbs and adjectives flow in, then the connective tissue of the language, until you are reading full Arabic.
The Science
We use a technique rooted in language acquisition research. Arabic words are woven directly into English text, so you read naturally and the meaning of each word is clear from context.
Every Arabic word appears inside a real sentence from hadith, Quranic tafsir, or Islamic scholarship. You learn what words mean by how they are used.
The algorithm introduces a maximum of three new Arabic words per sentence. Enough to challenge you. Never enough to overwhelm.
Once you learn a word, it stays in Arabic across every text you read. Your vocabulary compounds naturally, and every passage becomes easier than the last.
Immersion Levels
Start with a droplet. End reading full Arabic. Each level controls which types of words appear in Arabic, so the text grows with you.
Level 1
قَطْرَة
Droplet
Nouns appear in Arabic. The rest stays in English. You start recognising the people, places, and things in every sentence.
Level 2
نَهْر
River
Verbs and adjectives join the nouns. You start reading actions and descriptions in Arabic. The language begins to move.
Level 3
بَحْر
Sea
Prepositions, pronouns, and particles appear. Most of the sentence is Arabic now. English becomes the scaffolding, not the structure.
Level 4
مُحِيط
Ocean
The complete Arabic text. Right-to-left. Every word tappable. You are reading the source, not a translation of it.
How It Works
Every feature in Nuqta feeds into one cycle, and every cycle makes the next one easier.
Open a hadith or passage. Arabic words appear naturally in the text at your current immersion level.
Press any Arabic word to see its meaning, root letters, grammar, and how it connects to the sentence.
Save words to your personal deck. Nuqta schedules reviews using spaced repetition so you remember long-term.
Mastered words stay in Arabic across every text you read. Your known vocabulary grows automatically.
As familiar words lock in, the algorithm introduces new ones. The same text becomes more Arabic each time you return.
When you are ready, move to the next immersion level. New word categories unlock, and the cycle continues.
Purpose-Built
Arabic is not Spanish. It reads right-to-left, has a root system, and looks completely different with diacritics. Nuqta was built for Arabic from day one.
Our rendering algorithm ensures Arabic words never cluster together in English text. Every word stands alone, readable and clear. No jumbled right-to-left chaos.
Tap any word to see its root letters, verb form, case ending, and grammatical role, in both English and Arabic grammar terms.
Read hadith, Quranic passages, and Arabic stories, not "Where is the hotel?" Every text comes from the tradition and heritage you actually want to understand.
At higher levels, Nuqta shows the percentage of words you already know. Research suggests 70% or above for comfortable assisted reading, so you always know where you stand.
