Summary

Madinah Arabic is most suitable for learners focused on classical Arabic. It has text-based lessons for beginners and quizzes for intermediate learners. Although the interface is not very modern, it gives a decent introduction to the Arabic script, in addition to basic sentence structures with native speaker pronunciation for every word. After learning the basic script, there are over 100 step-by-step beginner lessons that start with practical sentence structures. Instead of learning basic phrases, such as how to order food at a restaurant, you will learn how to build your own sentences. There are a few fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice questions in the lessons, plus about 90 beginner to advanced quizzes to test listening and reading comprehension. The site also offers Arabic tutors over Skype with a free trial lesson. Keep in mind that the information may not be as easy to digest as in Duolingo or Arabicpod101, and it will probably take a lot of  discipline to make your way through the lessons.
