As an Egyptian fan of Langfocus... I've been waiting for this for SO LONG 😊

I'm Algerian and i totally agree, Egyptian dialect is the most useful one to learn, also it sounds so cool ,i love it❤

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.

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.

I’m Saudi and I totally agree that Egyptian dialect is the most influential and well understood among other Arabic dialects 👍👍👍 Well done in explanation, I really enjoyed it and learned a lot 🙏

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.

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

مستغرب تحليلك للهجة اللي بتكلم بيها و على وشي ابتسامة طول مشاهدة الفيديو ❤😂 حرفيًا مستني الفيديو ده من زمان ❤❤

Great video 🫡 Greetings to you,and to my Egyptian Brothers،from Iraq 🇮🇶🇪🇬

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.

As a native Egyptian Arabic speaker, I can tell you did a great job 😍

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.

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....

Excellent video! I’m a Copt and I thoroughly enjoyed this. Though there are many more Coptic words that have worked their way into Egyptian Arabic, I could tell a lot of research and effort went into producing this video. It even taught me something new! Thanks!

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!

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