Learn how Arabic roots connect entire families of words — so vocabulary becomes easier to understand and remember.

Most Arabic words are built from a three-letter root that carries a core meaning. The root ك-ت-ب (k-t-b), for example, relates to "writing" — and from it come kitāb (book), kātib (writer), maktaba (library), and dozens more. Learn one root, unlock a whole family of words.
