Overview

There is no an easy language or a difficult one to learn. The issue is related to the desire of the learner and his or her insistence to learn.

The classical Arabic is the native language for all Arabic dialects. In fact, classical Arabic is a great beauty language, and when you hear or speak it, you will feel as if you hear music or playing beautiful melodies, but no one speaks classical Arabic in public life now.

You will find classical Arabic in news broadcasts, textbooks, newspapers and magazines, but not among Arab people' talk in their daily life.

So, how do we understand, read and write classical Arabic although we talk in different dialects?

The answer is very easy: The classical Arabic is the origin, while all the Arabic dialects are the branches. Therefore, even illiterates can understand classical Arabic to a large extent, when they hear it.

But we must understand an important thing. The correct classical Arabic language should be written and read in a special way, where we must format letters (vowels). That means we must use Arabic grammar when we read or write it.

I am an Arabic man, however I cannot write or speak classical Arabic properly, and this is the case for the most of the Arab people. That is a funny thing and a bad thing at the same time.

Arabic slang is like any other slang; we do not fully abide by grammar when we speak it. So, when we want to learn it, the matter will be much easier.

Here I will not teach classical Arabic directly, but I will teach the Egyptian dialect. Of course, I will teach you how to read and write classical Arabic, but I will not make it my focus.

Maybe someone asks: Why Egyptian dialect? Is this because you are an Egyptian man?

The answer is no. The reason is anyone in the Arab world can understand this dialect easily unlike any other dialect.

I wrote some lessons here, and if I found them useful for you, that will encourage me to add new lessons in the future.

Good luck for you and me, too.
