Takallam AI: Learn Arabic

I wish i had money because id buy a subscription. i saw an ad on instagram and thought it’d be some dumb app like duolingo, but BOY was i wrong, this app actually has me coming back, practicing my pronunciation. i love the way takallam works differently from how ones like duolingo work (memorizing letters and sentences with little to no speaking)- this app? you learn speaking AND reading. inshallah i’ll be able to pay a subscription eventually because i love this app

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is reported to have said: “Love the Arabs for three reasons: because I am an Arab, the Qur’an was revealed in Arabic, and the language of the people of Paradise is Arabic.” However, this hadith is considered weak by many scholars. Why do you include a weak hadith on your app’s screen? Also, if your app is intended for Muslims, please write “ﷺ” (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam) after mentioning the Prophet Muhammad. Please be careful not to confuse Muslims by presenting weak narrations without clarification.

I need to be honest. I hate learning Arabic. Not in a dramatic poetic way. In a very real, very stubborn, “my brain immediately wants snacks instead” kind of way. Every time I try, one of three things happens: 1. I suddenly remember I should reorganize my entire life. 2. I decide sleep is actually very important for my future. 3. My ADHD says, “What if instead… we simply ✨don’t✨?” So my expectations for this app were… low. Like “I’ll open it for 30 seconds, feel guilty, and close it” low. I opened it while getting into bed. You know… the classic ‘just checking’ lie we all tell ourselves. Anyway. Next thing I know… it’s midnight. I finished a full lesson. And I’m sitting there confused like: “Why am I… enjoying this?? Who approved this?? Is this legal???” Because normally learning Arabic for me feels like: My brain buffering … But this app??? Everything is clear, simple, and somehow… my brain didn’t run away. Which, if you have ADHD, you know is basically a medical miracle. Like… where was the suffering? the dramatic sighing? the sudden desire to start a completely different life path instead of studying? Gone. Instead I was just… learning. Calmly. At midnight. On purpose. Very suspicious behavior from me. I kept waiting for the moment my brain would say “okay that’s enough productivity for today, let’s scroll nonsense now.” But it never came. Whoever designed this app clearly understands two types of people: 1. People who hate studying 2. People whose attention span is held together by vibes and dua And somehow… they built something that works for both. So yeah. Do I still hate learning Arabic in general? Emotionally… yes. But do I hate this app? …unfortunately no. And that feels like personal growth, which I did NOT sign up for. 10/10. Very rude of them to make learning this easy. Now I might actually have to become disciplined or something.
