Arabic Numbers for Beginners: How to Read, Write, and Use Them Easily

Arabic for beginners.

1. Know This First: Arabic Numbers Look Familiar

There are two types of numerals used in the Arab world:

Hindu-Arabic numerals (١, ٢, ٣...) – used in most Arabic countries

Western numerals (1, 2, 3) – also widely recognized

The number system is logical and pattern-based, and MasterStudy teaches both styles side by side so you understand quickly.
