Amooo de mais essa egípcia

[@DesideriumAU]

How is her Arabic? Does she have an accent?

[@laduqesa]

I'm not a native speaker so I don't know. She sings in the Egyptian dialect, while the dialect I know is Moroccan, although I understand other dialects to some extent. She left Egypt when she was 21 and had appeared in Arabic-language films, so I guess hers must be pretty good - better than mine, lol.

A very subtle one, has to be pointed out to be noticed

[@worldtraveler3493]

Her Arabic is nearly perfect. Only a a few pronunciation mistakes for the letter (Haa) ح (which she pronounces like a European H). Otherwise, she sounds native.

[@ahmedmibrahim1800]

She is good enough to be understood for me as a native

[@amalaljohari9358]

She sings in Arabic perfectly, Egyptian accent, she's not strong in only one letter, something similar to H, only Arab know how to pronounce it correctly
