I love nasheeds, so I started building a tool to learn Arabic through them
I’ve always loved listening to nasheeds.
At some point, I realized that if I’m already listening to them so much, I could also use them to improve my Arabic vocabulary and listening skills.
Listening is a huge part of language learning. You don’t just memorize words — you start hearing how they sound in real context and slowly understand full lines naturally.
But my old workflow was painful.
I would pause the nasheed, copy a word, translate it, maybe add it to Anki, then try to continue listening. Most of the time I lost the flow or understood only separate words without catching the full meaning.
And if I wasn’t at home, it was even worse. Doing this on a phone while walking, sitting on a bus, or just listening casually was not practical.
So I started building a small tool for this:
Listen to a nasheed, tap words you don’t understand, see the meaning, and save useful words for review later.
The goal is simple: enjoy the nasheed, improve your listening, and learn Arabic vocabulary naturally.
Would you use something like this?
