    The First step to learning Arabic

    The first step to learning Arabic is to learn classical Arabic (MSA), and then learn the preferred dialect. Each Arabic Country has a different dialect, and in this book, you will study the MSA. Learning a dialect will be acquired easily after learning MSA, and the Egyptian dialect is the most popular.

    Watch the video and listen to different dialects of Arabic. Each one says the same dialog in his dialect. The dialog is:

    • Greeting
    • My name is ..., I am from, and this is how the Arabic dialect sounds
    • Today I woke up and ate breakfast with my family in the kitchen
