About Tarc

Tarc is a free, gamified app for learning Arabic and Latvian. It's built around short daily lessons, spaced-repetition review, streaks, quests, and a global leaderboard — the same mechanics that make habit-forming apps effective, applied to actually learning a language.

What Tarc teaches

Tarc currently offers structured courses in two languages:

  • Arabic — from the alphabet through structured levels (Starter through B2), covering vocabulary, reading, and grammar.
  • Latvian — from the alphabet through beginner and intermediate levels.

The app interface itself is available in English, Uzbek, Russian, and Turkish. See Learn Languages with Tarc for more on the teaching method behind both courses.

Turkish, Russian, English, German, and French are on the roadmap for future courses, though none are built yet — each has a reference page under Learn covering the language itself, with a way to get notified when a course ships.

How it works

Lessons are organized into short daily units. Correct answers earn XP and gems; consistent daily practice builds a streak. A spaced-repetition review system resurfaces material you've learned at increasing intervals, so it sticks. Achievements, daily quests, and a global leaderboard add motivation on top of the core lesson loop.

You can start learning immediately without creating an account — progress is saved to your device. Creating a free account (via Google or email) lets your progress sync across devices.

Cost

Tarc is free to use. There is an optional in-app shop ("Tarc Souq") where you can spend gems — a virtual currency earned by completing lessons and quests — on cosmetic items and XP boosts. There is no real-money purchase anywhere in the app.
