Arab Academy, Cairo, Egypt

Colloquial Arabic is the spoken Arabic used by Arabs in their everyday lives. Unlike MSA that is uniform in all Arab countries, colloquial Arabic is subject to regional variation, not only between different countries, but also across regions in the same country. Arabic speakers from various parts of the world do communicate in their respective dialects. However, the degree and ease of comprehensibility depends on two factors:

1. The geographical location pertaining to the dialects
   
2. The level of exposure to each dialect.
   
   This course is designed for students who know little or no Egyptian Arabic and those who need a refresher of the basics. It is recommended that students have a basic knowledge of Arabic before taking this course (Reading and writing of the Arabic Alphabet “Colloquial 100”). This basics course will cover daily life situations that a foreigner living in Egypt is likely to encounter. The course focuses on oral communication skills, listening skills and cultural skills which will be developed through situational discussions and dialogues.

This is a great way to learn Arabic online for kids between kindergarten and fifth grade.

This is done by giving them stories and interesting puzzles that revolve around important topics such as: jobs, colors, numbers, food, outings, animals, etc.

The program is self-paced. Once students complete a level, they get moved to the next one.
