Learn to type in Kurdish (Sorani)

No. Printed Arabic keycaps are sold and they are not worth it for a touch typist: you are trying to learn a map, and a visible map delays that. Select the Kurdish Sorani layout in your system settings and use the on-screen guide below instead, which you can turn off once it stops helping.

Kurdish Sorani, with 27 characters mapped across the standard key positions. Kurdish (Sorani) runs right to left, which both the practice text and the cursor respect. The 21 practice words between them use 22 distinct characters. The keyboard guide below the typing area shows the physical key and the character it produces together, so you are never reading a layout diagram in one window while typing in another.

Sequences of the keys each stage has introduced — single letters first, then pairs, then short chunks — in Arabic as the Kurdish Sorani layout produces it, rather than transliterated into Latin letters. The point of the course is the position of a key rather than the vocabulary. The 21 common Kurdish (Sorani) words in the practice bank are what the speed test samples and what the games pull from, once the positions stop needing thought.

Longer than a week and shorter than you fear — and it depends far more on how often you practise than on how long each session runs. Short daily sessions beat long weekly ones by a wide margin, because what you are building is recall and recall decays between sessions. The streak counter exists for that reason.

Yes, nothing is locked. It is usually a mistake, though, because each stage assumes the keys before it have stopped needing thought — and a stage practised on top of a shaky one tends to embed the shakiness rather than fix it.

Because one correct attempt proves you can do it and three prove you can repeat it, which is the thing that eventually becomes automatic. Attempts with mistakes in them do not count towards the three — not as a punishment, but because practising an error is how an error becomes a habit. Three is the default rather than a rule: Settings will take it down to one or up to ten.

Harder than a one-key-one-letter language, and for a specific reason rather than a vague one: marks combine, so a written unit takes several presses in a fixed order. The bank here averages 3.4 units per word with a fairly compact inventory of 22 characters across the practice bank. The keystroke count is higher than the visible length suggests, which is what makes early progress feel slower than it is.

No account, no payment, no trial. Progress is stored in this browser, which is enough until you want it on a second device or on a leaderboard — that is the only thing an account buys, and it is optional.
