Hello friends! I recently created a language learning newsletter where I hope to share my language notes in Egyptian Arabic, Korean, & more on a weekly basis! You can subscribe here: fluencyfarm.beehiiv.com/subscribe
I want to learn both Egyptian and MSA. I've started with Egyptian and I watch movies, series, interviews to Egyptian singers, actors and actresses and soccer players, and I listen to Egyptian music. In my social media I also follow Egyptian news pages so I can be in contact with MSA through news about Egypt. While my main focus now is Egyptian Arabic I try to be in contact with MSA through news about Egypt.
This is very great and I appreciate it, but the most important thing than learning the language is practicing the language. I'm also Egyptian and I'm learning English, but the most useful thing is listening and trying.
I will add important and good information for everyone who wants to learn the easiest and most understandable Arabic dialects. Start learning the Egyptian dialect because it is a dialect that all Arabs understand and some of them even speak. Also, learn the Levantine dialect and you must know which countries the Levant is. They are four countries: Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan. They speak a similar dialect with a very slight difference. So you have to choose between learning one Egyptian dialect or learning the dialect of four countries, which is the Levantine. ❤.
no my friend the most understandable accent is the Syrian accent in special words the accent of people from Damascus who born in Damascus and lives there.. compare between this two accent the Damascus one and the Egyptian one by your self don't make the judgement depending on your emotions, make it fare regardless of where you are
Most of the Arabic cultural content. We call you about art, media, and other things in the Egyptian dialect. Even Arabic content of all kinds, especially scientific content, is also in the Egyptian dialect. Also, Egypt is the largest people that speaks Arabic. If you add the population of all those countries together, they will not reach half the population in Egypt. Not to mention that the Egyptian dialect is understood by anyone who speaks Arabic
I would learn levantine over egyptian anyday.. its closest to MSA and egyptian speakers are understood by everyone but THEY RARELY UNDERSTAND ANYONE ELSE!! Levantine you have more of the MSA base already there and you will lpick up MSA easier because of this.. It is just as known as EGyptian nowdays actually..... it is second widely known and its admired in the middle east and people pick it up. Levantine media is catching up. Egypt has more population but Levantine regions are more relevant in Arab world FYI... @@esraazakaria1400
@@ismygina I'm German by blood but my adopted Famliy are Lebanese and they have always spoiled me throughout my life and speaking either German or English to me has always been apart of their thoughtful treatment to me. I want to finally learn their native language as my ultimate thank you for adopting me and taking me into their fold.
As an Arabic native speaker I'd say learn MSA because it's the base. Even if speaking with it would sound weird but all Arabic speaking countries will understand you. Then, learning a dialect won't be that hard because it's only speaking. Actually many parts of different dialects are driven from the MSA. For example when Egyptian say "kuwaies" which means "good", the word came from "kaiyes" which is a MSA for "good".
3:36 I’m Moroccan and it’s better to learn levant Arabic because they are better understood for example if you’re a tourist in Morocco and you began to speak Levantine it’s will be totally ok but I you start speak Egyptian people will told to speak MSA even if they understand by simplicity it’s better
Starting with MSA is the best because it’ll give you access to every single Arabic speaking country since everyone can understand you and even reply to you in MSA. Then going on to a dialect that is more understood such as Syrian or Egyptian would make sense.
@@kbutton15 That's true we don't speak MSA in our daily life(when we talk with each other) However, in the schools the books are written in MSA, also most of children TV shows are in MSA, so that we've already learned it since we were kids. I think just the illiterate people(specially the old ones) won't understand you when you speak MSA.
@@TakeEliteWrong example , English varieties are almost identical everywhere and change only in accent and a little in pronunciation...Arabic dialect change in vocabulary and in pronunciation. Maghrebi Arabic have a huge different vocabulary respect the levantine dialect , Yemeni arabic is almost incomprensible to all
@kbutton15 I'm a student and teacher of Arabic, in addition to being a polyglot. Personally, I'd say that although it's true that no one speaks MSA at home, every literate person does understand it, from any country. Plus you can read and write all Arabic texts. Communication doesn't really matter unless you're planning on moving to an Arab country, or got close friends there... even in that case MSA can help you, though not perfectly. Also, starting off with a dialect which is basically watered down version of MSA, you increase the complexity of the already complex grammar Arabic has
The majority of people I’ve heard talk about this tend to say learn MSA first as it’s the prototype version of Arabic and all other dialects are branches of the tree that is MSA, after becoming fluent in MSA learning other dialects tends to come relatively easy.
Yes I've heard a lot of people say this too but I personally believe it depends on one's goals. For me, I started with a dialect because it allowed me to communicate with native speakers and connect with the culture at a much faster pace. I was able to live in Egypt and also make many friends with just knowing the dialect. I was also able to better understand cultural nuances and trends I feel because I have been mainly focused on the dialect and culture of Egypt. But to each their own!
@@ismygina ahh yes see the distinction that I forgot to remember here is a lot of people who learn Arabic tend to be people that have reverted to Islam therefor learning MSA is a necessity In order to learn about the religion via reading the Quran and Hadith in Arabic, but if that’s not the situation and your learning just to be able to communicate with the population of where you are interested in then obviously just pick that dialect and learn it hahaha.
@@hoffjdod3276 I mean, if you're a muslim, or want to convert, what you need to learn is classic Arabic. Even MSA is not so useful to read and understand correctly the Quran and others holy books of Islam. MSA is for watch news, read books or if you want to watch a tv show in Arabic
as an egyptian who loves egyptian dialect and i think most arabs will understand you easily i still recommend modern standard arabic, here is why: 1- if you have a bad accent because some letters are hard to learn you will still be easily understood 2- it sounds more classy when foreigners speak it, because most arabs with different accents when they use it they sound different so when you sound different speaking MSA it will still be not a dead giveaway your a foreigner 3- if you are learning to read or for religious reasons MSA is a must, i recommend you learn MSA and you will understand most dialects from consuming arabic media on the way, yet you will never learn MSA from media cause it isnt used
@@C.Braganza-qv6yh the Lebanese dialect is popular for speech but it doesn't share alot with MSA so you will find it more difficult to access Arabic Christian text which is written in MSA
I want to learn Arabic for 2 reasons, l want to understand the Quran and I'm planning to settle in Saudi InshaAllah. So should I first learn MSA and then the gulf dialect? This way will I be able to understand the Quran and converse with the locals as well?? Pleaseeee Answer
I'm learning both MSA and Egyptian but with a focus on Egyptian. I've been learning for around 7-8 months now, and would call myself...semi conversational i guess.
@@guilhermeteixeira7095 just focusing on Egyptian essentially. But also MSA vocab. I don't do any MSA listening. Pretty much MSA is only vocab and reading. Everything else is Egyptian
@@Aknight292 Great. I'll start studying Levantine Arabic soon, but since I'm interested in news, conversation, entertainment, music and so on, I think it'll be good to learn MSA along with it and I was wondering how to do it.
I am from Libya 🇱🇾.. and I assure you that the Saudi dialect 🇸🇦 is the dialect closest to classical Arabic and all Arabs understand it, and that if you learn it it will be very easy to deal with other Arabic dialects.
I personally wouldn’t recommend learning Egyptian first unless you want to live in Egypt and communicate mostly with Egyptians. Go for a more nuetral Arabic like saudi of the Hijaz region.
My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!
⚠Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians have worked in Iraq/ Libya; tens of thousands of Yemenis live in the Arab Gulf states. Tens of thousands of Sudanese live in Egypt; thousands of Maghrebans work in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, all of these Arabs live and integrate using their mutually understood Arabic dialects (without any need for translators )⚠
Pure Arabic "Fusha " -الفصحى) were used in Andalusia by Arabs from the peninsula ، Moroccan are barbarians as it mentioned in the history books and they don’t even speak Arabic since last time I visited Tangier it’s missed up language and have no connection with Arabic and when I asked the local they say it’s called Darijah and it turned out that it is mix between 10% Arabic 40% French 50% Barbarian (Amazighian )❤. So state some facts darling no need for misleading in the roots of language. Regards
@@Amelia-tt8yz you know shit . Books fron taifas period are written in Moroccan darija and many words in Spanish are Moroccan Arabic such as Alquilar or jinetes
I don't really want to learn the most widely spoken dialect, but the one that can be understood by the largest amount of other dialects (which also might be the most widely spoken). From what I hear gulf, Egyptian and Levantine can be understood by most other varieties while morrocan is hard to understand by everyone else. And everyone understands MSA and even as a foreigner people will look at you funny and wonder why you learned it
It doesn’t make any sense to me why natives would laugh at foreigners for learning MLA… they should understand they are not native speakers and with MLA, you can read books and understand the quaran. How is that a bad thing?
Thank you for your tips. As Gina says herself in the video, the choice depends very much on your goals. Many years ago I was trying to decide which new language to learn after filtering through several criteria. In the end there's Korean and Hebrew. I was aware that it's much easier to learn Korean considering the HUGE amount of resources you have, and yet I went for Hebrew. Why? Because a good friend of mine is a native Hebrew speaker, and it made all the difference in the world for me. The new language I'm learning ended up feeling "more at home" simply by the fact that I'm able to use it with my good friend and he ended up helping me A LOT. Now for Arabic I decided to learn Tunisian and I honestly am getting a bit tired of people saying that I should've chosen Egyptian or Levantine instead. In the end it doesn't matter that much whether a language is spoken or understood by a billion or just a million or even 100 000 people. I don't intend to communicate with millions of people after all. It's the people or culture (including the myriad of things that a culture encompasses) that are close to your heart that matters.
I agree with you on the differences between writing and pronunciation and on choosing dialects that are easier and understandable to a greater number of people, such as Egyptian, Syrian, Lebanese and Jordanian. We Egyptians find it easy to communicate and understand other dialects, unlike, unfortunately, the dialects of some Arab countries such as Morocco or Algeria.
Fact that most people in Morocco and Algeria speak (their local variety of) Arabic does not make them Arabs.... They are Amazigh. If we apply that way of reasoning then we would say Colombians are Spaniards, Americans and Aussies are English, Quebec people are French.
I am a native Arabic speaker. I agree with you to study standard Arabic. You have to start with Arabic alphabet, like any other alphabetic language. But in Arabic there are letters that arise from the deep throat and if you don't master those letters your arabic looks odd. Not only that if you learn standard Arabic then learning dialects is easy. You can also use your standard Arabic to speak to anyone in Arabic country and they will understand you and will impressed and look high at you. We are a proud nation of Arabic language. It's rich in vocabulary and structure. It's old language. If I speak to someone living 1500 years ago he will understand me and I will understand him, basically. Of course overtime some old vocabulary are not used, and new vocabulary entered the language, like any other language that changes with time. But the sentence structure has not change. A major factor is the Quran which we learn by heart and is the same Quran 1500 years ago. Another point of view is arabic nouns are either masculine or feminine. For example the sun is female and moon is male. This will affect the following words in the sentence, the verb and adjective changes slightly with the gender of the noun. For example if you say in English the sun set or moon set, in Arabic the word set when used in the verb form will change slightly when using for the sun and moon. This very crucial in Arabic, because if you don't master the gender and its use in Arabic vocabulary and sentence structure then your Arabic looks very odd. Arabic is a beautiful and poetic language. True it is difficult language but with dedication and passion to learn it then you have no problem. I have seen many people from different languages who mastered Arabic and they speak it beautifully. So again learn standard Arabic then you will also understand the Arabic culture.
start learning a language by learn a dialect is like study english by learning irish or scotts or welsh dialects in order to learn English yes I did say rish or scotts or welsh not british or american, because this is how far the arabic dialects (all of them) are from the modern standard Arabic
Nice video! I have a friend in Algeria. I think it would be great to be able to communicate with her in something other than English and French, which is what we use right now. That said I’m not sure if it’s just me or if the Algerian dialect seems to be much more throaty, kind of harsher. I mean, absolutely no disrespect to anybody, but it seems like there are other dialects such as Levantine that are a bit softer. I seem to have more trouble trying to re-create Algerian dialect. I wonder if anybody else sees or hears this difference and has the same troubles. Even if I pick a different dialect, maybe someday I would be able to do the Algerian dialect once my throat is more accustomed?
افضل اللغة العربية الفصحى بالنسبة الغة كلام الله سبحانه وتعالى و أيضا كلامه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم و أيضا الصحابة رضي الله عنهم جميعا و أيضا كلام علماء حق
The problem is I'm much interested in countries that use different dialects, they are: Lebanon and Syria, Iraq, Egypt and Lybia. Among these countries the ones I'm interested the most are Lebanon and Syria, so I guess Levantine Arabic would be the best one for me. However, I'm much concerned with fact that it might be difficult to stick to Levantine Arabic since most of the content I'm going to find online will probably be MSA or Egyptian...
Recently I've been seeing more levantine content out there. From what I've heard, Levantine Arabic is also one of the most widely understood dialects, and there are a lot of movies, series, and music in the Levantine dialect. Also, I've seen books available on lingualism that specifically deal with the Levantine dialect. I'm sure there are also some RUclips channels discussing the Levantine dialect. Might be worth checking some of those out!
You said you’re interested in Libya, as a Libyan I do not recommend learning the dialects of any Maghrebi (Libyan, Tunisian, Algerian, Moroccan & Mauritanian) Arabic dialect. This is simply because in terms of cultural and linguistic output of Maghrebi dialects, it’s very limited compared to the other dialects like the ones in the Middle East, therefore Maghrebi Arabic especially Moroccan and Algerian are very hard to understand for middle-eastern and Egyptian Arabic speakers.
I will add important and good information for everyone who wants to learn the easiest and most understandable Arabic dialects. Start learning the Egyptian dialect because it is a dialect that all Arabs understand and some of them even speak. Also, learn the Levantine dialect and you must know which countries the Levant is.

Lool who told you Egyptian is the oldest Arabic 😂 it’s North Africa arabic comes from the Middle East.. most people learn Egyptian Arabic because most shows and movies and tv are Egyptian dialect other than that it’s no where next to being original Arabic because Egyptian aren’t arab they speak Arabic just like Morocco Algeria etc

لو تركز بالترجمه المكتوبه حتلاحظ فيه كلمات عاميه كثير مثل( دلوقتي و عايز ) 😂 العاميه تدخل بالكتابه ولو تفتح موبايل اي واحد عربي وتشوف محادثات الواتساب حتحصل اغلب الكلام المكتوب بالعاميه صحيح لو تقراء كتاب بحصله بالفصحى بس ممكن تحصل كتابات بالعاميه
We understand them because of their dramas and movies, because let's be honest, their arabic isn't "just" easier, it's just that we are used to it, they don't understand us because they are not used to us
The best thing is to learn classical Arabic, and everyone will understand you, and everyone can talk to you from all Arab countries, and you can read the Qur’an and learn a lot of religious sciences.
Can anyone suggest book name which consist Ancient Arabic poetry......like poems of Imru Alqais Abu layla Almuhalhil Alqama ibn Ubada Tarafa zuhayr ibn Abi sulma and Antarah ibn shaddad Al Asha
All Arabs understand the Syrian dialect (Damascus dialect) and the Egyptian dialect (Cairo dialect) because of the Drama or TV shows. Even people in Turkey who are from an Arabic origin watch Syrian Tv shows In the south of Iran, there is a huge area whose people speak Arabic and those also used to watch Syrian Tv shows
Just wanna note , that Lebanon doesnt produce a lot of movies , the movies come out of syria and eygpt the most , and nowadays its the gulf countries and eygpt (cuz of the war in syria)
The Egyptian dialect and the Levantine dialect. You should know that the Levantine countries are four countries: Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Lebanon. Their dialects are very similar.

Hi Gina, i have started Arabic grammar which is very difficult but i want to learn egyptian arabic, could you please guide me how to start and what is the way to perfect it
you see, the only way to learn a dialect is to engage with the culture, since if you want to learn arabic, the only Taught arabic is the standard arabic, and the other dialects are taught through movies and be surrounded by the people from the egptian dialect
I'm not sure if this is true or accurate but as someone who speaks both the Iraqi dialect and the Jordanian Levantine dialect I noticed that the Levantine had more similarities to the MSA and I feel like it would be easier for a beginner to learn those two together rather than learn one of the north african (like Egyptian or Morrocan) or gulf dialects. Again, I'm clueless about this but I grew up with the MSA, Iraqi, and Jordanian forms of arabic and always felt like the levant was closer to classical Arabic than the other regions. Egyptian is very playful and sounds a lot cooler than the other dialects ngl but I've always been confused why beginners choose to learn it in specific, I feel like it's a bit more difficult for foreigners. However, this might be because of the environment I grew up in. Still, I've always thought of Levantine Arabic as the simplest, easiest, and most straightforward one. Lastly, one piece of advice, if you are learning Arabic in order to speak to as many people as you want don't learn Morrocan. Honestly I love the Moroccan people theyre amazing but as an Arabic speaker who understands most if not all dialects, their's is impossible. So unless you are Morrocan or want to live in Morroco or have a weird obsession with Moroccan people, learn another dialect unless you wish to only communicate with a very specific region of people.
I wish the translation text were in classical Arabic. At least it is elegant. In general, I recommend a mix of Levantine (Syrian or Jordanian) with a bit of Classical.
I recommend leavantine dialect 🇱🇧🇸🇾🇵🇸🇯🇴, read my comment to know why I'm not an Arabian, I'm Phoenician levantine But still a native speaker of arabic So I can tell you We all understand all the dialects So it really doesn't matter which one you'll learn I recommend leavantian dialect "cause it's the easiest and even Netflix has chosen it for dubbing
I am not sure about the nationality of Gina, however it is clear that she is bias towards Egyptian dialogue. I have to be honest here, if anyone want to learn Arabic then he/she should simply consider the mother Arabic, as this rule is applied to any language in the world. Then, it is easily to move to any dialogue that serve your purpose. And by the way Egyptian dialogue is far a way from mother language in term of writing!!!, and the same is applied for grammar.
الأفضل ان يتعلم المبتدئ العربية الفصحى ، او العربية الكلاسيكية وبعد ذلك يتعلم اللهجات المحلية لأن العربية الفصحى يفهمها جميع العرب ، ويمكنك التواصل مع العرب في جميع الدول أما اللهجات المحلية فربما لا يفهمها الا اصحاب اللهجة فقط
It is not the levantine dialect it is Damascus dialect The Syrian and Egyptian dramas are the most watched dramas among Arabs but the dialect of Damasuc is closer to the formal Arabic than the Egyptian dialect the lebanase songs are well known but their linguistic content is very limited and a big part of them are in the Egyptian dialect
im a native speaker who was brought up in the UK therefore my Arabic was (and still is) weak Im learning fus7a (MSA) for religious reasons and saudi for conversational
Im mexican and im going to Jordan for holidays! I would love to speak Arabic to locals thats why im here haha but i was kind of confused about if i was learning the dialect spoken in jordan 😅
You mentioned that the Egyptian Arabic is more useful, but isn't it true that some pronounce the letters incorrect, such as Jamal with the jeem sound, they would say Gamal?
i am studying msa for 4 years as hobby and i am on intermediate plus level but when i hear dialect i do not understand it at all msa is not spoken at all and arabs in general only understand it , they study it in school as english so it if actually a foreign language to them so if not for religion you have not reason to study msa
@@Xdooda it’s not “a harder dialect” there’s nothing hard about it, it’s a separate language with its own specifications, it didn’t get standardized for sociopolitical reasons only.
I personally feel gulf is the best to start with, emarati 🇦🇪, kuwaiti 🇰🇼 , Bahraini 🇧🇭 , saudi 🇸🇦 omani 🇴🇲 , Qatari 🇶🇦 , their dialects are almost same and easy to learn , Egyptian and Levantine dialects are bit hard
If you out Kuwait you have to put iraq it’s literally the same but I do agree with you Oman Kuwait iraq Saudi Qatar Jordan uae are literally the same maybe some simple words are different but 99% is literally the same further away you get from Saudi the harder the accents get and harder to understand
Hi. I would like to study arabic because I want to visit all arabic countries, so that it means that I have to know MSA and some dialect such as Egypcian, according to you. But I do not have any idea about that. Why it cannot be possible only to study MSA and use it to comunicate to local people as well? If that is not possible because it won't let me understand locals, then if I have to study Egypcian dialect, how could I study it? By listening only people, for wxample, not need to study how to write it? When people read Modern Arabic, do they read it as a Modern Arabic or as their dialect?

Arabic language is old, poetic, rich in vocabulary and really is beautiful. But it's not a good practical language. Language for daily use. Also not good for learning science. In science you don't need a difficult potic language. You need a simple and direct language that conveys ideas accurately and quickly. English is this sort of language and that's why it has spread globally. I find learning science in English, though I am native Arabic speaker, is easier in English than Arabic. If I want to read poetry then definitely I use Arabic.
Respect Arabic is not easy at all I recognized how difficult it is as I tried to explain it We do have a quite difficult grammatical rules with exceptions However u might learn it , if only u ve the willing to do I do agree with u the easiest spoken Arabic is the Egyptian Every one will understand it but if the person is not creative one he will face a difficulty to understand the non Egyptian speaker Cus Egyptian has a really different way of pronunciation Like ج ق ء ث ذ ض د س ص Often Egyptian confused Plus vowels is real problem for the Egyptian Take for example the name مصطفي Or عايز عاوز And so on Any way well done 👍
I just want to learn Arabic to communicate with the Arabic speakers from different Arab countries in such a way that they can easily understand me and I can too, so which Arabic should I go for? (Need a help because I'm so confused with this)
I just can't understand why arabs make it so difficult for non arabs to learn, actually all of arabs can understand and can speak as well the MSA they just pretend it's weird or difficult but it's not, they live with it all their lives in religion, television , news , books and many other resources... For me myself it's very easy to talk to a learner with the MSA if they desire, no need to learn a dialect IMHO....😊

@@ismygina ahh yes see the distinction that I forgot to remember here is a lot of people who learn Arabic tend to be people that have reverted to Islam therefor learning MSA is a necessity In order to learn about the religion via reading the Quran and Hadith in Arabic, but if that’s not the situation and your learning just to be able to communicate with the population of where you are interested in then obviously just pick that dialect and learn it hahaha.

@@hoffjdod3276 I mean, if you're a muslim, or want to convert, what you need to learn is classic Arabic. Even MSA is not so useful to read and understand correctly the Quran and others holy books of Islam. MSA is for watch news, read books or if you want to watch a tv show in Arabic

as an egyptian who loves egyptian dialect and i think most arabs will understand you easily i still recommend modern standard arabic, here is why:
1- if you have a bad accent because some letters are hard to learn you will still be easily understood
2- it sounds more classy when foreigners speak it, because most arabs with different accents when they use it they sound different so when you sound different speaking MSA it will still be not a dead giveaway your a foreigner
3- if you are learning to read or for religious reasons MSA is a must, i recommend you learn MSA and you will understand most dialects from consuming arabic media on the way, yet you will never learn MSA from media cause it isnt used
@@C.Braganza-qv6yh the Lebanese dialect is popular for speech but it doesn't share alot with MSA so you will find it more difficult to access Arabic Christian text which is written in MSA
I want to learn Arabic for 2 reasons, l want to understand the Quran and I'm planning to settle in Saudi InshaAllah. So should I first learn MSA and then the gulf dialect? This way will I be able to understand the Quran and converse with the locals as well?? Pleaseeee Answer
Thanks for your vídeo. En España (Spain) hablamos Romance y Árabe. Saludos
I'm learning both MSA and Egyptian but with a focus on Egyptian. I've been learning for around 7-8 months now, and would call myself...semi conversational i guess.
How are you managing your learning in order not to mistake MSA and Egyptian Arabic since you're learning both for the first time all at once?
@@guilhermeteixeira7095 just focusing on Egyptian essentially. But also MSA vocab. I don't do any MSA listening. Pretty much MSA is only vocab and reading. Everything else is Egyptian
@@Aknight292 Great. I'll start studying Levantine Arabic soon, but since I'm interested in news, conversation, entertainment, music and so on, I think it'll be good to learn MSA along with it and I was wondering how to do it.
I am from Libya 🇱🇾.. and I assure you that the Saudi dialect 🇸🇦 is the dialect closest to classical Arabic and all Arabs understand it, and that if you learn it it will be very easy to deal with other Arabic dialects.
Thank you have helped me understand which Arabic to learn in going for Egyptian Arabic wish me luck
yayyy best of luck!!!
@@ismygina thank you very much
I personally wouldn’t recommend learning Egyptian first unless you want to live in Egypt and communicate mostly with Egyptians. Go for a more nuetral Arabic like saudi of the Hijaz region.
My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!
Why did the group for him to learn a language in short period of time,not have the solution? That's fucking weird.
Sorry*the group that forced him to learn a language in a short period of time.
⚠Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians have worked in Iraq/ Libya; tens of thousands of Yemenis live in the Arab Gulf states. Tens of thousands of Sudanese live in Egypt; thousands of Maghrebans work in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, all of these Arabs live and integrate using their mutually understood Arabic dialects (without any need for translators )⚠
Moroccan Arabic is the coolest one and was used in Al Andalus
Most mystical
Pure Arabic "Fusha " -الفصحى)
were used in Andalusia by Arabs from the peninsula ، Moroccan are barbarians as it mentioned in the history books and they don’t even speak Arabic since last time I visited Tangier it’s missed up language and have no connection with Arabic and when I asked the local they say it’s called Darijah and it turned out that it is mix between 10% Arabic 40% French 50% Barbarian (Amazighian )❤. So state some facts darling no need for misleading in the roots of language. Regards
How come,have you been living in that era , stop bulshiting.
@@Amelia-tt8yz you know shit . Books fron taifas period are written in Moroccan darija and many words in Spanish are Moroccan Arabic such as Alquilar or jinetes
I don't really want to learn the most widely spoken dialect, but the one that can be understood by the largest amount of other dialects (which also might be the most widely spoken). From what I hear gulf, Egyptian and Levantine can be understood by most other varieties while morrocan is hard to understand by everyone else. And everyone understands MSA and even as a foreigner people will look at you funny and wonder why you learned it
People make fun of my accent ✌🏽😃
It doesn’t make any sense to me why natives would laugh at foreigners for learning MLA… they should understand they are not native speakers and with MLA, you can read books and understand the quaran. How is that a bad thing?
@@umershaikh7179 tell them that lol. But I agree, it's dumb
@@umershaikh7179
No one will laugh at you except dumbasses you shouldn't care about them eitherway.
I fully support learning MSA
Thank you for your tips. As Gina says herself in the video, the choice depends very much on your goals.
Many years ago I was trying to decide which new language to learn after filtering through several criteria. In the end there's Korean and Hebrew.
I was aware that it's much easier to learn Korean considering the HUGE amount of resources you have, and yet I went for Hebrew. Why? Because a good friend of mine is a native Hebrew speaker, and it made all the difference in the world for me.
The new language I'm learning ended up feeling "more at home" simply by the fact that I'm able to use it with my good friend and he ended up helping me A LOT.
Now for Arabic I decided to learn Tunisian and I honestly am getting a bit tired of people saying that I should've chosen Egyptian or Levantine instead.
In the end it doesn't matter that much whether a language is spoken or understood by a billion or just a million or even 100 000 people.
I don't intend to communicate with millions of people after all.
It's the people or culture (including the myriad of things that a culture encompasses) that are close to your heart that matters.
I agree with you on the differences between writing and pronunciation and on choosing dialects that are easier and understandable to a greater number of people, such as Egyptian, Syrian, Lebanese and Jordanian. We Egyptians find it easy to communicate and understand other dialects, unlike, unfortunately, the dialects of some Arab countries such as Morocco or Algeria.
Fact that most people in Morocco and Algeria speak (their local variety of) Arabic does not make them Arabs.... They are Amazigh. If we apply that way of reasoning then we would say Colombians are Spaniards, Americans and Aussies are English, Quebec people are French.
I am a native Arabic speaker. I agree with you to study standard Arabic.
You have to start with Arabic alphabet, like any other alphabetic language. But in Arabic there are letters that arise from the deep throat and if you don't master those letters your arabic looks odd.
Not only that if you learn standard Arabic then learning dialects is easy.
You can also use your standard Arabic to speak to anyone in Arabic country and they will understand you and will impressed and look high at you. We are a proud nation of Arabic language. It's rich in vocabulary and structure. It's old language. If I speak to someone living 1500 years ago he will understand me and I will understand him, basically.
Of course overtime some old vocabulary are not used, and new vocabulary entered the language, like any other language that changes with time. But the sentence structure has not change. A major factor is the Quran which we learn by heart and is the same Quran 1500 years ago.
Another point of view is arabic nouns are either masculine or feminine. For example the sun is female and moon is male. This will affect the following words in the sentence, the verb and adjective changes slightly with the gender of the noun. For example if you say in English the sun set or moon set, in Arabic the word set when used in the verb form will change slightly when using for the sun and moon.
This very crucial in Arabic, because if you don't master the gender and its use in Arabic vocabulary and sentence structure then your Arabic looks very odd.
Arabic is a beautiful and poetic language. True it is difficult language but with dedication and passion to learn it then you have no problem. I have seen many people from different languages who mastered Arabic and they speak it beautifully.
So again learn standard Arabic then you will also understand the Arabic culture.
Script for me is not a problem because I know Urdu. But the grammar is the worst. Indo Aryan tongues are a lot simpler.
Spoken English and standard English are also different, sometimes very different.
i'm an arabic speaker and from an Arabic country and still i watched the video till the to know if my dialect will be mentioned or not
what's your native dialect??
@@ismygina Iraqi dialect
I've learnt standard arabic ; it is usefull for all arabic spoken countries...
how long did it take you to learn
start learning a language by learn a dialect is like study english by learning irish or scotts or welsh dialects in order to learn English
yes I did say rish or scotts or welsh not british or american, because this is how far the arabic dialects (all of them) are from the modern standard Arabic
Nice video! I have a friend in Algeria. I think it would be great to be able to communicate with her in something other than English and French, which is what we use right now. That said I’m not sure if it’s just me or if the Algerian dialect seems to be much more throaty, kind of harsher. I mean, absolutely no disrespect to anybody, but it seems like there are other dialects such as Levantine that are a bit softer. I seem to have more trouble trying to re-create Algerian dialect. I wonder if anybody else sees or hears this difference and has the same troubles. Even if I pick a different dialect, maybe someday I would be able to do the Algerian dialect once my throat is more accustomed?

The problem is I'm much interested in countries that use different dialects, they are: Lebanon and Syria, Iraq, Egypt and Lybia. Among these countries the ones I'm interested the most are Lebanon and Syria, so I guess Levantine Arabic would be the best one for me. However, I'm much concerned with fact that it might be difficult to stick to Levantine Arabic since most of the content I'm going to find online will probably be MSA or Egyptian...
Recently I've been seeing more levantine content out there. From what I've heard, Levantine Arabic is also one of the most widely understood dialects, and there are a lot of movies, series, and music in the Levantine dialect. Also, I've seen books available on lingualism that specifically deal with the Levantine dialect. I'm sure there are also some RUclips channels discussing the Levantine dialect. Might be worth checking some of those out!
You said you’re interested in Libya, as a Libyan I do not recommend learning the dialects of any Maghrebi (Libyan, Tunisian, Algerian, Moroccan & Mauritanian) Arabic dialect. This is simply because in terms of cultural and linguistic output of Maghrebi dialects, it’s very limited compared to the other dialects like the ones in the Middle East, therefore Maghrebi Arabic especially Moroccan and Algerian are very hard to understand for middle-eastern and Egyptian Arabic speakers.
Meaning each Arab country you go then you must learn their dialect
I will add important and good information for everyone who wants to learn the easiest and most understandable Arabic dialects. Start learning the Egyptian dialect because it is a dialect that all Arabs understand and some of them even speak. Also, learn the Levantine dialect and you must know which countries the Levant is. They are four countries: Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan. They speak a similar dialect with a very slight difference. So you have to choose between learning one Egyptian dialect or learning the dialect of four countries, which is the Levantine.

as an algerian i can mostly understand all dialects of other countries but they do not understand our dialect
We understand them because of their dramas and movies, because let's be honest, their arabic isn't "just" easier, it's just that we are used to it, they don't understand us because they are not used to us
The best thing is to learn classical Arabic, and everyone will understand you, and everyone can talk to you from all Arab countries, and you can read the Qur’an and learn a lot of religious sciences.

Where can I find Egyptian Arabic channels and resources?
Also the Iraqi and Yemeni and Sudanese dialects
All Arabs understand the Syrian dialect (Damascus dialect) and the Egyptian dialect (Cairo dialect) because of the Drama or TV shows.
Even people in Turkey who are from an Arabic origin watch Syrian Tv shows
In the south of Iran, there is a huge area whose people speak Arabic and those also used to watch Syrian Tv shows
I'd want to learn Yemeni dialect, but can't find much sources on it😖
Just wanna note , that Lebanon doesnt produce a lot of movies , the movies come out of syria and eygpt the most , and nowadays its the gulf countries and eygpt (cuz of the war in syria)
I would definitely go for Lebanese Arabic as its the easiest and sounds very lovely
The Egyptian dialect and the Levantine dialect. You should know that the Levantine countries are four countries: Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Lebanon. Their dialects are very similar.

Hi Gina, i have started Arabic grammar which is very difficult but i want to learn egyptian arabic, could you please guide me how to start and what is the way to perfect it
you see, the only way to learn a dialect is to engage with the culture, since if you want to learn arabic, the only Taught arabic is the standard arabic, and the other dialects are taught through movies and be surrounded by the people from the egptian dialect
I'm not sure if this is true or accurate but as someone who speaks both the Iraqi dialect and the Jordanian Levantine dialect I noticed that the Levantine had more similarities to the MSA and I feel like it would be easier for a beginner to learn those two together rather than learn one of the north african (like Egyptian or Morrocan) or gulf dialects. Again, I'm clueless about this but I grew up with the MSA, Iraqi, and Jordanian forms of arabic and always felt like the levant was closer to classical Arabic than the other regions. Egyptian is very playful and sounds a lot cooler than the other dialects ngl but I've always been confused why beginners choose to learn it in specific, I feel like it's a bit more difficult for foreigners. However, this might be because of the environment I grew up in. Still, I've always thought of Levantine Arabic as the simplest, easiest, and most straightforward one.
Lastly, one piece of advice, if you are learning Arabic in order to speak to as many people as you want don't learn Morrocan. Honestly I love the Moroccan people theyre amazing but as an Arabic speaker who understands most if not all dialects, their's is impossible. So unless you are Morrocan or want to live in Morroco or have a weird obsession with Moroccan people, learn another dialect unless you wish to only communicate with a very specific region of people.
In all written languages there is a more or less big gap between the spoken and the written languages
I wish the translation text were in classical Arabic. At least it is elegant. In general, I recommend a mix of Levantine (Syrian or Jordanian) with a bit of Classical.
I'm interested in Maltese.

I am not sure about the nationality of Gina, however it is clear that she is bias towards Egyptian dialogue. I have to be honest here, if anyone want to learn Arabic then he/she should simply consider the mother Arabic, as this rule is applied to any language in the world. Then, it is easily to move to any dialogue that serve your purpose. And by the way Egyptian dialogue is far a way from mother language in term of writing!!!, and the same is applied for grammar.

Arabic language is old, poetic, rich in vocabulary and really is beautiful.
But it's not a good practical language. Language for daily use. Also not good for learning science. In science you don't need a difficult potic language. You need a simple and direct language that conveys ideas accurately and quickly. English is this sort of language and that's why it has spread globally.
I find learning science in English, though I am native Arabic speaker, is easier in English than Arabic.
If I want to read poetry then definitely I use Arabic.
