Understand first, then learn the French
It is hard to learn the principles of the Republic and how institutions work if you are also decoding every word. The app lets you read each question and its explanation in English or Arabic, so you can concentrate on the concept. When the concept is clear, the French original is one glance away.
The Arabic version is a full right-to-left interface, not an English screen with Arabic text pasted in. Numbers, buttons and layout follow the reading direction.
Keeping the French in view
The real exam is in French, so translating alone is not enough. With the French original option switched on, the French question and explanation appear beneath your language. Over a few sessions you start to recognise the French terms for ideas you already understand, such as laïcité, devoirs or collectivités territoriales.
You can switch the app language at any time, so you can start in Arabic or English and move towards French as your confidence grows.
