Learn Egyptian Arabic- Most Spoken Dialect in the Entire Arab World and Dive into its Rich Popular Culture

Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is a formal dialect that is not spoken as a native language. Many people who spend years learning MSA( Fusha) are eager to practise their language skills but often find that they are not understood when they visit an Arab country. While Fusha is extremely beautiful and important, if you want to communicate, make friends, and understand the region from its people, it is necessary to learn a dialect.
