Back in my belly dancing days, I heard there were many dialects of Arabic, but if you learned to speak the Egyptian dialect heard on most radio stations, you could get by.

As far as writing Arabic, I would have absolutely no clue on how to go about learning.

Hi,
You are right, the Egyptian version is understood widely amongst Arabic countries.
www.byki.com is a FREE SITE allowing the download of FREE Language Software which includes Arabic.
However, I have a package on my other computer (which is 'down' at the moment which is better. Send me an email via tundawenna2@hotmail.com as a reminder & when the machine is running again, will send you a copy.
It includes the alphabet / writing which is really not that difficult - I've recently started to teach myself.
Hope this helps.
Kindest Regards,
Sidney

Thank you!

I still have a few books and some language tapes here in my office, that help with learning Arabic as well. Tapes are handy, but very old fashioned technology.

Default Hi

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

Hi, during my first winter in Tunisia, I contacted Sousse University and was put in touch with a professor of languages who taught me privately on the basics of Tunisian Arabic. I decided to do that rather than the classical Arabic as I was living there. Once I understood the basics and some vocabulary, I found that I was able to follow conversations fairly well.
