      ...So I am always looking for ways to improve! Another thing that held me back was the tendency to divide between formal Arabic and different dialects, and to treat written Arabic as a kind of dead language...

      So I would take classes in Morocco or Palestine but only be able to say ‘United Nations’ and not ‘where is the post office?’ (This is weirdly common) - don’t do this! Arabic is a rich world of different varieties that people move between, from Chad to Iraq, get into it! 🐟 🏊‍♂️

      So resources! You might want to start by hiring a teacher on NaTakallam (‘We speak!’) which pairs refugees with language learnershttp://NaTakallam.com

      For more advanced levels, I love the Jordanian podcast series EIB عيب which deals with a sensitive social topic in each episodehttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/eib-%D8%B9%D9%8A%D8%A8/id1239180892 …

      In general, if you’re interested in a particular area, try and find whatever fun content might exist in that dialect - I’m going to try and get into these true crime podcasts in darija ( 🇲🇦) 👀https://open.spotify.com/episode/7DUdJdN7zw2LDTtsTZoxQH?si=tmTHiafjRY6mVPcZqxiNng …

      Also - songs! A great way to learn different expressions. I’m going to be honest I only realised that Sudanese accents were quite easy for me to understand by listening to Alsara 😅 🇸🇩https://youtu.be/bJEB30Hdb4I

      And remember - no native Arabic speaker can master the full ocean of the language 🌊 so you are not alone! What are your favourite tips and resources? Help me out!

      Replying to @ArthurAsseraf

      For learning dialect, I love this short animated series about a modern Saudi magician (Yarob https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0eWip7EKdE&list=PLLrgzGtxkXk6NsutVhb8vQrCJSFqNfvB8 …), and the Shankaboot video series (Levantine)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90iHTFd4wTo …
