One plan, everything included

To read Phoenician: all 22 letters, the most common words found on inscriptions, and real inscriptions from Byblos, Sidon and Carthage, word by word. It is a reading course: nobody has spoken Phoenician for over 1,500 years.

It is built around them. The app works fully in Arabic, every letter is shown with the Arabic letter it became, and most words come with their Arabic relative. English speakers get the same course in English.

Spellings and meanings follow the standard scholarly editions (cited as KAI). Pronunciations are conventional reconstructions, and where scholars disagree about a letter's origin we say so.

There are no recordings and no native speakers, so any audio would be invented. Phoenician survives as writing, so Alep teaches reading, and it does it thoroughly.

Five to ten minutes a day. Most learners can read the whole alphabet within two weeks.

The complete alphabet (the first four units), daily reviews, letter drills and the first three inscriptions. There are no ads and no limits on mistakes.
