Egyptian graphic designer launches project to teach Arabic with Lego blocks

Egyptian graphic designer teaches Arabic with Lego blocks: Egyptian graphic designer Ghada Wali came up with a project to help teach foreigners and young students the language with an unexpectedly simple tool — Lego blocks, Quartz’s Abdi Latif Dahir says. With Let’s Play, Wali created a “full Arabic abstract display typeface through playfully building each letter using colored lego blocks.” The pocket book of letters included explanations and pronunciations of each letter, along with their Latin equivalent, and a dictionary of 400 words.
