Description

This course is aimed at students who either have an intermediate or above level in Egyptian Arabic, or for those who are already advanced in a different variety of Arabic, but want to understand the differences between that variety and Egyptian Arabic.  It's crucial to understand the differences between the different tenses and forms. They can be daunting at first, but once you fully understand them, the road of learning Egyptian Arabic will be paved and clear.   For example, the imperfect or المضارع in Egyptian Arabic is different from that of FusHa/Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). While it's the present tense in MSA, it is not in EA.   How to study from this course:    Each video is accompanied by a PDF file of the top 20 verbs in Egyptian Arabic. Each one of these PDFs includes basic and extensive conjugations of the verb.  1. Watch each video, and just go over all 20 verbs and the example sentences only, not the conjugation tables.  2. Once you've gone over all the videos, start watching them again, but this time, start working on the basic conjugations of the perfect tense, both in the affirmative and negative.    3. When you've gone over all the videos for the second time, start watching them again. This time, start working on the basic conjugations of the imperfect.    4. Then re-watch the videos, while working on the conjugations of the active participle.    5. Finally, watch the videos, while working on the complex conjugation tables. Happy learning!Ahmad ElKhodary
