What kind of Arab language should I learn?

(Aix-en-Provence)

April 1

What is the best type of Arabic language to learn as a beginner student? I am mostly interested in traveling to Northern Africa and possibly the Middle East, and I have about one year to prepare. Should I try to find a teacher from a country in particular?

You should learn standard arabic which is understood in the majority of arab countries. The country of the teacher does'nt matter.

Hello, Asalamu Alaykum.

Thank you so much for clarifying your aim of learning Arabic.

If you want to travel to north Africa, Morocco,Algeria have the same dialect and if you learn Moroccan Arabic, you will be able to be understood in the two countries. IN Tunisia the dialect is a little bit different, but people can understand you if you speak Modern Standard Arabic. About the middle east countries, their dialect is completely different than the North African.

So my advice for you, is to learn the Modern Standard Arabic, so you will be understood in any Arab country.

Wishing you best of luck in your journey.

Hi Dear, all Arab countries speak the same high Arabic language, which means wherever you go you will be able to connect with people. But each country has its own dialect, if you know to which country in the Middle east you are going to this will help to teach you as well the dialect.
