Egyptian graphic designer Ghada Wali has created the “Let’s Play” project that is designed to help early learners and foreign speakers learn the Arabic language. The book Wali has designed uses colorful Lego bricks to create Arabic letters, with the Latin equivalent for each letter and its phonetic pronunciation listed. A 400-word dictionary is also included in the book.

The book also aims to help the user understand the challenges of the Arabic language, such as isolated, initial, medial and final forms of each letter by using Legos to show how each letter changes depending on where it appears in a word.
