if u wanna learn Arabic don't feel pressured by the many dialects we have because even us Arabs can't fully understand other Arabic dialects. Fus_ha (MSA) is the best beginning to learn the language because Arabs everywhere will understand u. At first they might think it's wired someone is actually speaking Fusha but once they know you are a foreigner they will start answering back in Fusha as well. However, if u still feel like u wanna learn a dialect instead, i suggest the Egyptian dialect because almost all Arabs understand it. Plus u can find hundreds of Egyptian movies and TV series to help u. (I'm not Egyptian btw 🤣). Fusha can be heared in the news, political shows, some old songs, all kids cartoons, even some talk or game shows. It's also used in books in general no matter what the subject of the book is. I hope this was helpful 😊

as a native arabic speaker, I can say that arabicspeaking people are integrating more Fusha in their dialects and daily use. the reason being is because people have now more access to media. that is why it's more fimiliar to use Fusha lexicalities . so learning MSA for a starter is totally fine and worthwhile..

[@mariolis]

Do you think the internet plays a part in this? Arabs from different countries are now connecting with each other online and therefore having to use a common language ? Also , with the internet being text-based as opposed to voice-based , did that have an effect since MSA is more common in writting than speech? What is the state of the Arabic side of the internet ?

There is a huge difference between standard Arabic and Arabs' dialects All Arab can understand and talk standard Arabic and each country has it's own dialect and sometimes we can't understand some words spoken another dialect like people from Morocco , Algeria and Tunisia so we will speak in standard Arabic to understand each other I remember my teacher he is Jordanian and he said to us "tag'aatطقعات" it means like wonderful amazing he was encouraging us ! But in Saudi dialect it's totally different!!! It means fart 😂😂😂 we were laughing so hard what is going on he is saying to his students " you are farts " 😂😂😂!!! We knew he didn't mean fart but at the beginning we didn't know what he ment until some one find it on Google. ( but of course we understand each other from the context even the words still different) I highly recommend you guys to start with standard Arabic and then move on to your favourite dialect

As a general rule, learn fusha, then derive MSA. Fusha handles things like the origin of verbs better than the rest, which should help you tremendously no matter which other way you decide on later.

[@TheStrataminor]

Actually as a person who has studied linguistics at a Master's level (although my Phd is not in that field) I can say that Mike presents a credible and logical argument for MSA. Getting the underlining structure, a cultural introduction through the language and most likely texts/media/audio visual tools will often defer to MSA you will have plenty of material anyway. I would love to learn Arabic and although I am reasonably okay in Japanese, I am seriously wondering if I should start MSA or Egyptian dialect, but I would most likely start with MSA. Well done Mike; clear, concise and well presented! Now where would I start.....goodness....

As Mike said, it will give you the foundation of the language and will facilitate your comprehension of any dialects later on. Now, you might sound funny when you speak MSA in the street, but the advantage of MSA is that you'll be 100% understood anywhere in the Arab world, i.e. clarity. Also, native Arabic speakers will appreciate that you are trying to learn their language and won't embarrass you by their funny looks for speaking MSA because they know you're a foreigner and that's normal. Native speakers sometimes actually use MSA in certain occasions (other than formal ones) just to sound funny or to add a sense of humor to the conversation. MSA is a very powerful and expressive language, with 16,000 word roots, giving rise to over 400 million words in the language. Arabic indeed is very rich in vocabulary.

[@iElixirr]

m from SA and i would say that it's true that MSA is always understandable when you communicate with anybody and i think the same goes for a lot of Arabian countries as well ..

[@AdhiSoedrajat]

From Indonesia, yes you are, you're right!

I'm a student from Belgium and I'm studying Arabic. How funny that you can choose what you want to study! We can't here; in the first year of uni, you only learn MSA. The second and third year, you learn dialects but the focus is still on the MSA

[@Leen-ow1fd]

Good luck!

[@sadeem3675]

I’m from saudi arabia and if anybody talk with me fusha i will understand 😭! i’m realy happy to see you guys talk with me fusha because the arab don’t care to fusha much but we understand .. soo much love to anybody care to my language 👐🏻❤️

[@sadhnadevi6946]

I am gonna be an interpreter your videos are so helpful thank you bro💜

[@ahmedbouslah3951]

Fusha is much more important. It is used in the Quran after all.

[@agustinbarquero8898]

If you are not a Muslim, this reasoning is pointless. I don't care about the Quran, I care about the language. :)

[@DroidEnaamo]

​@@agustinbarquero8898Most of the people who are learning Arabic do it for religious reasons(to understand the eloquence of the Qu'ran) thats why brother Ahmed above said to focus on Fusha Even if you are not interested in understanding the eloquence of the Qu'ran Fusha is still important since it allows you to communicate with Arabic-speaker from any country in the world Sorry for the bad english. I hope my comment was helpful to you

[@attabaig6848]

@@agustinbarquero8898well you’re in the small minority then, most non Arabs who want to learn Arabic are Muslims and learning the quran is a top priority for us Muslims

[@wardachrouaa7281]

Assalam alaykum, I'm Belgian and learned Fusha. After I married my Moroccon husband, I learned Moroccon dialect as well. I lived 3 years in Morocco. I can confirm that Moroccon men generally know Fusha. Moroccon women on the other hand, with the exception of women who studied at university, generally do not speak it, nor do they understand it. I don't know whether it is a Moroccon thing? Women are only recently studying more (20 years ago most women were ummiyyat), and I notice a big difference in the knowledge of Fusha between say 20 year old women and 40 year olds. So I'd say: even if among women fusha is not always understood, it is definitely regaining its splendor. Also, there is a beginning movement of people speaking fusha with their children (I'm one of them). Still very small, but more and more Arabs notice with globalisation that their dialects are of little use outside their own countries (with the exception maybe of Egyptian dialect with the older generations. But the time that all Arab films came from Egypt is gone by, young people no longer understand Egyptian better ).

[@tmo9202]

فيديو جميل. معك حق ١٠٠٪‏ لأن الفصحى هي الأساس وتسهل عليك تحليل الكلمات العامية كثيراً وفهمها.

[@ll4353]

انا سعيد جداً بأنك تتحدث اللغه العربيه بالتوفيق لك يا صاحبي 🌹

[@ignaciosabat8528]

But I've heard everywhere that nobody speaks msa, that it's just written. Any clarification please?

[@SpeakRealArabic]

MSA is the formal language and used in TV news and books. If you want to speak with locals, friends, watch tv shows, movies, live in a any Arabic speaking country then avoid learning MSA because it will make you be mad when two Arabs talk to each other. Learn to speak and listen to real spoken Arabic. MSA is never used in real life as language of converse.

[@deema6809]

نعم سوف نفهمك اذا تكلمت الفصحى في السعوديه

[@reemalso2094]

Hello I’m from Saudi Arabia and yeah as you said we can understand the fusha accent from any where also we respect you because you learn Arabic and the last thing good luck ❤️❤️
