      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.

      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.

      so the extreme for me is either Morrocan to the west and Emiratee to the east.

      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.

    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!

      it is possible, its impossible if you have an IQ of 20, wish is tbh the average IQ of Kalijis who go to Morocco, other arabs like Egyptians or syrians understand it easily in the first week or 2, 90% of the words are arabic or of arabic origin, its not words like "merci" or "ca va?"or"kouzina" yo, Darija is the arabic that Berber used to communicate with the arabs, its like a literary translation of berber, so some sentences may seem weird in their structure to eastern ppl, but nothing that would make it hard for them to understand except for the 20 IQ guys ofc

    Interesting. Maltese has a lot of similarities to Tunisian and Lebanese Arabic but also classic Arabic. I find it really interesting that some of the phrases you mentioned from classical Arabic (that you find too dramatic or simple) are common place in Maltese. 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."

    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.

    Je trouve encourageant pour tous les parents arabes ce type de vidéo que tu postes afin de leur dire c’est possible d’apprendre l’arabe classique là où il y’a pas d’écoles pour l’apprendre! Je parle catalan et castillan(España) avec le français et l’anglais mais El Hamdoulilah mes parents se sont efforcés pour que j’apprenne l’arabe et c’est la langue que j’aime le plus !! Merci mark Al-hachem pour ton énergie

    Hey Mark I am a little Yemeni fan of yours. Excuse me for not being able to elaborate since my work break is almost done and I am going back in; I will love to have more time to type all that I want to say but maybe some time later. 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.

    So your advice is to learn 22 different accents, instead of just the 1 which you can use in all of them? Great advice! :p

    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. Egyptian is REALLY different to classical. I then moved to berlin and encountered all kinds of dialects, mostly lebanese and syrian but also Iraq and maroc. It is such a struggle especially as a non native speaker haha

    Another brilliant video Mark! Well done as usual👍 You know I speak somewhat fluent French but when I hear Québécois, I feel like I'm listening to a villain from an 80s' French dubbed cartoon or Têtes à claques😂 I really burn serious calories to understand!
