Hi folks.
Signed up like ten or so minutes ago. I just have one question. Where should I start learning Egyptian Arabic? I come from Arabicpod where the content is grouped into pathways, so switching over to a resource where you can study pretty much whatever you want, however you want is kind of overwhelming.
That’s why I’d like to ask for help from the veteran learners of the site. Or at least the non-new folks. If it helps, I want to build up some vocab and conversing skills in Arabic first
Personally I’ve been using the vocab tools (starting at the beginner level). Downloading the audio and making anki flashcards to study.
The listening tools are s but much for me right now but I’m also using this in tandem with watching content from Egyptian Arabic YouTubers running learning channels so it’s a nice addition.

Hi.
I appreciate the help, but sadly that’s not quite possible. I went through some of the Egyptian content and there are videos where there are only Arabic words being said aloud so I have no way of saying what each word means. And I think the videos where the words are first spoken in English then Arabic, the latter is spoken so fast that its hard for me to realize on the first, or the second try for that matter, how it ought to be said. As fro anki, its inaccessible for visually impaired folks like me.
Try clicking the vocabulary drop down, most of the vocabulary audio will say the English word first and then the Arabic! Egyptian Arabic->drop-down menu->Beginner->Vocabulary
Right there with you on not yet being able to listen and understand the videos but the vocab lists and audio are a great start and resource even if you can’t add them to an anki list!
