Hi,
The arabic here is actually a tunisian dialect and a mix of french, therefore making the language here in Tunisia much harder to learn for me personally
!!
Eygptian arabic is by far the most popular to learn and certainly has more books, software etc available but....
My fiance spent over 2 years working in Egypt and so of course knows all sorts of dialects for different areas however he had a telephone conversation the other day with someone from Jordan and it was extremely funny listening to him trying to understand - there is so much difference in the dialects that he had to try and remember his Egyptian arabic as opposed to his local dialect as well as the person in Jordan having no idea what he was saying! lets say the conversation took a very long time - but for me it was reassuring to know im not the only one that struggles with Arabic but so does my tunisian fiance lol
