Hello, what books would you recommend for MSA language? I already know how to read the alphabet and write each letter so I will say I am an A2, there are a lot of words I do understand as well but I am Far from even being intermediate. My goal is becoming A B2-C1 by next year since I will need to take an entrance exam for a University. Also any resource would be great not just Books, what would be best(!?).
Salam! I am looking to get a basic grip of Arabic without jumping headfirst into MSA, and I was wondering which dialect of Arabic is the most simplified in terms of verb conjugation and cases. Everyone suggests Egyptian due to the amount of media, and I've heard that Egyptian is, but looking at Tunisian conjugation makes Egyptian look quite hard in comparison. The book sounds fantastic though.
Difficulty is entirely relative. I wouldn't say Egyptian or Tunisian are necessarily easier or harder - just different. If your first language is French then you might move quicker with Tunisian as they have more loan words and code-switch a lot.
