The Spoken Arabic of *EGYPT* and What Makes it DISTINCT

▶ Learn Spoken Arabic with "Talk In Arabic": bit.ly/talkinarabic2 ◀ Discount code: LANGFOCUS.
This video is all about the Egyptian dialect of Arabic (specifically the Cairo dialect, and more generally northern Egypt). Egyptian Arabic is well-known across the Arab World because of Egypt's dominant position in Arab Media and entertainment throughout the 20th century (and to some extent still today). But it has numerous distinct features that set it apart from Modern Standard Arabic and from other varieties.

Special thanks to Omar Allam El Sayed for his Arabic audio samples and suggestions!

Hi, everyone! I hope you enjoy the video. 🚩If you're learning Arabic and you don't want to limit yourself to formal Modern Standard Arabic, check out Talk in Arabic : ▶bit.ly/talkinarabic2 ◀ It's the only resource of its kind, where you can learn all the major dialects of Arabic in one place. You'll probably want to focus on speaking mainly one dialect, but you can also gain exposure to the others so that you'll be able to understand them. 🚩 Use my promotional code "LANGFOCUS" for a 10% discount off the regular pric

I am Italian and I did my degree thesis on Tunisian dialect, that I learnt quite well; but when I moved to Egypt, everybody used to laugh at me and this was very disappointing 😅 Then I learnt Egyptian dialect and now I have to admit it's easier for me both to speak and to understand... as well as to be understood by other Arabs. Thanks for this video

I am Syrian, and for me I can understand Egyptian perfectly because of watching Egyptian movies and listening to Egyptian songs, unlike some of my friends who have difficulty understanding some terms and words, but despite that, they do not need a long time to adapt.. but after watching this video, I realized how big the difference really is. Among the Arabic dialects for foreigners, there is no doubt that you did a wonderful and amazing job in these 13 minutes. I hope you do something similar about the Syrian, Tunisian, or Moroccan dialect. I congratulate you. I am truly amazed by this video.

As a native English speaker and an 8+ year long learner of Arabic, Egyptian is to this day the most intriguing dialect of them all.

They say in the arab world that the egyptian dialect is "light blooded" which means, it's cute and sounds nice. Arabs may not see eye to eye on many things but they all agree that the egyptian dialect is beautiful, that's why the egyptian music is pan arab, meaning that all arabs listen to egyptian music but they don't necessarily listen to every other type of arabic music in other dialects. I'm not an arab but I've learnt arabic in the 90s and early 2000s during ten years I lived them in jordan and I traveled and made friends in other arab and middle eastern countries. I understand egyptian but can't speak it but I listen to egyptian music quite often especially to classic artists like Ummu Kulsoum and Abd el Halim. Yes I'm quite old.

When I attended the Defense Language Institute 40 years ago Egyptian Arabic was the most common dialect taught after students completed Modern Standard Arabic.

Hello Paul☺️☺️ I'm Egyptian, from Alexandria, big fan of your channel. I loved this video, and I'd like to share some words that came to my mind: 1-Ya'ani (يعني) it means "meaning", and is used as a filler in any sentence and it's wont affect it 2- el betaa' (البتاع) it means "the thing" and we use it to refer to literally anything 3- ma'alesh (معلش) which means sorry, or it's okay

As an Egyptian I'm impressed by how much information you have because not many people are interested in our dialect

Finally, Paul! I have a feeling that this is going to be full of passion and devotion to our Egyptian native dialect.

I absolutely love this language! I'm not Egyptian, but have lived in Cairo for several years and listening to the audio snippets is like music to my ears. I wish I had learned it better when I was back in Egypt though.

As a life-time student of Standard Arabic and several dialects, I loved the way you presented the Egyptian dialect. I learned the reasons behind stuff I hear in Egypt so shukran awwi awwi!

OMG that is very accurate! Great video. It's funny how as native speakers we never think of the Egyptian dialect in this manner, especially that it's not taught at schools.

An Iraqi here, growing as a child when first exposed to Egyptian dialect on tv, at first it was hard to understand and confusing. For example, the word for poverty in strand Arabic is (faqr فقر) in Egyptian is (fa'r فأر) which means a mouse in standard Arabic. Gradually it became so easy that I can speak every dialect of Egypt like Sa'eedi, Iskenderani, etc....
