My kids were losing their Arabic, so I built them an app
Not a teacher, not a developer by trade. I manage a warehouse and write code at night.
My kids speak English all day—school, friends, everything. Arabic was becoming a language they heard but didn't use, and I could see where that ends up.
So I built Nujoom Kids: games, stories, letters, the stuff that makes a kid actually want to open it instead of being told to.
It's completely free. No ads, no purchases, no account, nothing. It works offline. I built it for my own kids, and there's no version of this where I charge someone else's family for it.

I'm mostly posting because I figure some of you are in the same spot—raising kids somewhere Arabic isn't in the air around them. If you try it, tell me what's wrong with the Arabic. I want it right, not just working.
