berry saysSat 23rd Apr 11@08:46 amthanks for this egyptian stuff, when I am in egypt I feel like I need to get my ears behind the speakers tonsils in order to hear what they are saying in classical.....so this is a great help , egypt is a lovely place and so warm and welcoming.

I agree. The Egyptian is so valuable and so hard to pick up without good ear training. The hosts are doing a splendid job. One thing that would make the lessons even better for me is if the hosts could slow down even more when they do the third, "slow" reading of the dialogue. But anyway, great job!

I agree with you that Egypt is great place to visit at anytime ,especially for students who want to learn and practice their Arabic.
Wherever you go you will find people who are eager to talk with you ,they will not let you go sleep so early:)without knowing everything about you:),that is something what I like most
@lukeandrews
I guess it is matter of practice ,however I study Egyptian Dialect for six months (mostly from books and I do chat with my friends) and still I find it a bit difficult (that is funny that some people say that EA is the easiest dialect to study,I dont agree with that much, for me Levantine dialects are much more easy.
The Egyptian also speak very fast and this is the main problem I guess for us as a students .
Great job guys
All the best guys -

@SAMRA
Kuntu = I was (Ex: kuntu hunaa = I was here)
Ta = attaches to the beginning of verbs for a male that you are speaking directly to OR a female that you are speaking about. (EX: matha taqool? = what are you saying (male) OR what is she saying?)
If you want to learn about grammar, I suggest you go to kalamullah.com, click on the "learn arabic" link and grab the PDF called "Arabic Verbs and Essentials of Grammar" -
thank you aliyah! i will check this link out!
if you have any other tips let me know please! -
@ samra24
There are hundreds of Google books about Arabic grammar and thousands of websites where you can find information about Arabic grammar. If you're looking for information about a specific problem-area you should key in something like "Arabic pronouns", "fe'al naaqis" or "Arabic defective verbs". If you can't find enough information on the English websites try other languages. There are Arabic videos dubbed into languages such as Polish, Russian and Japanese. The more languages you know the more information you'll find. -
