How it works
How Flashcards Arabia works
Choose your sets, pay securely, and they open straight away in our flashcard player — on any phone, tablet or computer. Here’s everything you can do.
Buying
Four steps, about a minute
Try the first 6 cards of any set for free. Buy 2 or more sets together and save up to 25%. No subscription — you pay once and keep your sets for as long as you keep your account.
- Step 1

Browse by theme and try a free preview of any set before you buy.

Add your family

No account? No problem. At checkout Stripe asks for your email, and we set up your account with it. The browser you paid on opens your sets straight away. On any other device, sign in with the same email — we’ll send a one-time link, so there’s no password to remember.

Play modes
Four ways to play
Pick the mode that suits your child today. Shuffle the cards, or choose whether the word shows on the picture side, in settings.
Look & listen
Great from age 1
Picture and word together, read aloud as each card appears. No flipping needed — perfect for the littlest learners.
Learn
Great from age 2
Picture first — can they name it? Flip to check, then mark it “I know it” or “Still learning”.
Slideshow
Hands-free
Plays the set through once with audio, at a pace you choose. Pause any time.
Review
Practice
Brings back only the cards marked “Still learning”, so practice time goes where it’s needed.
Languages & audio
Five languages in every set
Choose the card language in the player and change it whenever you like. Bilingual mode shows a second language on the back of every card.
- EnglishBritish English, simple everyday words.
- العربيةArabicModern Standard Arabic with full tashkeel and an optional pronunciation guide.
- EspañolSpanishNouns with their article — el and la.
- FrançaisFrenchNouns with their article — le, la and l’.
- 中文MandarinSimplified characters with pinyin and tone marks.
- Tap to hearEvery word is read aloud by a clear, natural voice for its language, so it sounds the same on every device. English comes in British or American; the American accent also uses American words, like Mom and Airplane. Family names you type are read by your device’s own voice.Audio help
Family sets
Starring the people they love most
Mum, Dad, Teta, Jiddo, the new baby cousin. After you buy a family set, add a photo and the name your child uses for each person, and the cards become theirs. No photos yet? Every card has a friendly illustration.
- Private to your account — never shared, published or used for ads.
- Resized in your browser before upload, which strips hidden location data.
- Change or delete any photo or name, any time.
- Add each person once — every family set you own uses them.
Before: illustrated
After: your photo & name
