yup, but most don't call it that. mine is considered Shami, but we call it Palestinian, because, you know... and it's very similar to Jordanian but they call it Jordanian etc. so the extreme for me is either Morrocan to the west and Emiratee to the east. Iraqi (and the area there) for some reason I find really similar to mine, I don't you know if I've subconsciously picked it up or if it's indeed similar

To function in Arabic, you need to know Standard Arabic along with the dialect of the people who you plan to interact with. You can’t read and write or understand programs or the news without knowing the standard language. Take it from someone who has learned Arabic and has been living in an Arab country for 35 years. Learning the standard language is essential along with the spoken dialect of your choice, preferably that of the people you’ll be dealing with.

[@akramwerda322]

@@danielmasters5484 Coming from an Arab country (Tunisia), I have to agree with you. Standard Arabic is still omnipresent in many aspects of our day to day life. Furthermore, even us arabs when we don't understand each other dialects or vocab, we tend to use standard arabic which is some sort of common ground..

[@julietaperez3194]

That's when the MSA Arabic kicks in! However, as an Argentinian myself I see no point in learning a dialect that sounds "foreign" to literally every other Arabic speaker. I want to connect with people through interactions and media and I think thats the case for most other people. I learnt to speak the Egyptian dialect and I seem to understand most songs/movies today. Also so far, it seems like every Arabic speaker understood me when I spoke Egyptian. It may be true that me not understanding none-Egyptians is the price for that, but in most cases, other Arabs know how to fake an Egyptian accent and it always goes well. At least that fake accent sounds more real than their MSA accent jaja I really think its like what he said, it depends on why you are learning the language.

[@Allinda.]

صح

[@love1nada1]

Julieta Perez I don't agree with you, Standard Arabic is more important because it's the language of writing, official news, law, medicine in all Arab countries. So by saying that foreigners should learn the Egyptian dialect then try to figure out what other Arabs say or Arabs themselves should figure out what that person says seem harder. Instead learning the standard Arabic would make ALL Arab countries understand what foreigners say and they can understand and read without any struggles. Also, if we make each Arabic country speak with their dialect as an official language then standard Arabic would be separated and therefore the situation would be more complex and difficult for both Arabs and non Arab speakers.

[@Allinda.]

nada Exactly Standard Arabic is more important and more beautiful it's very rich

Interesting. Maltese has a lot of similarities to Tunisian and Lebanese Arabic but also classic Arabic.

So yeah, us, to say 'did you do it?' we just say 'għamiltu?' and 'who are you?' becomes 'min inti?' And for Maltese at least, if you were to literally translate some text to English it would sound a bit like Shakespearean English. For example: "Ħallietni l-mara" means "she left me my wife."

As an Argentinian-Italian who learned Arabic from scratch, I must agree! I wish someone would have given me this advice 2 years ago when I started! MSA Arabic is very poetic but honestly not too useful if you want to communicate, because even though its spoken and understood by everyone, people kinda laugh when its used .. its like speaking Shakespearean English jaja When I learnt the Egyptian Arabic, its like a whole new world opened up to me! EVERYONE understood me and seemed to love the accent so much, and I finally started understanding songs and movies. Not to mention if you're like me, Egyptian Arabic has a lot of similarity in tone and pronunciation with Italian and maybe a little bit of Spanish and French! I am sure all Arabic dialects are special in a way like the ones in North Africa are very French-like and the Levant Arabic is slower and you can communicate with other Levants!

[@mouna558]

@Abdul-Haqq It is Shakespearean-like in terms of spoken Arabic not linguistically.. because? You guessed it. No one communicates with it! In terms of it sounding beautiful, that's subjective. I honestly love the sound of it too, but just prefer the Egyptian. Its like someone liking rock and another liking pop.. but yeah linguistically speaking surely it is a perfect language, I just wouldn't want to learn such a hard language and even after doing so most people/everyone doesn't speak it as a 1st language.

I really like and appreciate your channel and work, and how you defined your own way to combine learning and fun. I understand the vast majority of (if not all) Arabic dialects and will be able to speak them after a bit of time. Learning a language varies in terms the purpose behind. But for me, learning the standard Arabic/language is the only way you can get the most of others' history and literature. And personally, I do find lots of things tasty in life, but nothing even comes close to standard Arabic. Furthermore, Arabic isn't complicated, in fact it is sophisticated. Take Barcelona football team as an example, the reason behind their performance measurabless simplicity and smoothness is the fact that they have a very sophisticated system that allows players to implement Barca's philosophy on the field. And that, by the way, the reason why Arabic by far is language no. 1 when comes to number of vocabulary with over 12 millions words. The base is very sophisticated, vast, powerfull and trained to accept more and more without the shape of it gets distorted. No wonder why algorithm was an Arabic product because Arabic mimics programming logic. All that and much more gets transferred to me as unstoppable fabulous waves that hit me every time I get in contact with it. And now wallah I am late for the meeting :). Keep up your good work Mark. Shukran.

1:47 i see many arabs on soc med saying that MSA has limited n specific use (often, as u point out, medieval or poetry or the like), but as a nonarab, i observe that MSA is used in ur national news , arab international news, and communication in arab (IOC, GCC etc) or nonarab (eg UN, unesco etc) regional and international organisations. Why are these instances missed out? Are they not considered significant use?

[@days_hadd]

been studying on and off for about 15 years or so... up until recently when I started taking it very serious... I studied fus-haa for most of that time but finally caved and started studying a dialect... sometimes it really is like two different languages... I'm now learning fus-haa and the levantine dialect and your videos are very entertaining to me lol... anyways... that's my two cents

[@alessioleporati1478]

[@alessandrocolumbu]

Hi Mark, these videos are amazing. I personally started learning Arabic at uni from scratch when I was 19, long time ago and I also found MSA frustrating. After graduating I found living in Syria and finally picking up the local spoken variety liberating, but I also realised that without my knowledge and background in MSA I never would’ve picked up Syrian Arabic so easily cause it provided me with vocabulary and structure. In addition learning MSA gives you access to the immense Arabic turath for which ‘ammiya has no use. In other words, I’m strongly in favour of learning at least one spoken variety cause that’s what gives you access to contemporary culture but also I think native speakers tend to overlook how often MSA enters their spoken language. I could give you a zillion examples of how knowing MSA actually improves your capacity to understand ‘ammiya, and the other way round, practicing ‘ammiya (better if it’s Syrian/Lebanese) improves your skills in MSA. At the end of the day they’re the same language, and this separation between standard and spoken is largely artificial cause it exists in all languages.

Well said and presented Mark! Would you consider giving such light-hearted academic presentations around the Arab Universities. I'm sure the Linguistics Dept will be interested bro

[@yasminejabal296]

The standard Arabic (fus7a) could be a good way to start learning Arabic and then pick a dialect to learn along side that. Some dialects are harder than others I think the Egyptian might be the easiest thanks to their movie industry while the Moroccan one even might be hard to understand for native speakers.

I grew up in egypt and had such a hard time learning arabic formally as I would be taught classical arabic (Fos7a) then try and speak with people on the street and have no idea what people were saying.

[@sazji]

I agree about dialects. Many people urge MSA first on the grounds that you can learn the dialects more easily later. Fair enough, but it’s much easier to learn a language that you can speak and practice with, have conversations in, and learn within everyday contexts like shopping, going out, cooking, sitting around drinking coffee. You can’t do that with MSA. Of course if you want to be literate you need MSA but one could argue that it’s easier to learn MSA once you have a dialect in place. After all, that’s how...every native Arabic speaker in the world learned it.

[@GemanDugz]

the people that wanna learn the normal arabic language is to read the Quran and to understand it more
