For the new edition recordings, we would like to thank Najla Shawqi for adding her voice to the existing models, and our good friend Eric for the audio recording. It is true that most conversations take place in the colloquial language and most written material is in Standard Arabic. But the factor determining which is used has more to do with the formality of the situation rather than how the communication is delivered.
A high-level televised political debate would probably be conducted in Standard Arabic but a soap opera would be in colloquial. Communication between different Arab nationalities tends to include at least elements of Standard Arabic where dialects might contain unfamiliar words.
Egyptian colloquial is perhaps the most vibrant and universally understood of the many spoken dialects of Arabic. Egypt is the centre of popular Arab culture, exporting its films, soap operas, popular programmes, songs and advertisements to fill the mushrooming airtime of the Arabic TV channels. The differences between the colloquial and the Standard are less apparent the more elevated the subject matter becomes. Even at the basic level, it tends to be vocabulary that is most affected. The structure of the language remains largely recognizable.
So, whichever way you approach the language — from an initial study of the colloquial or of Standard Arabic, you will be able to expand your knowledge to other areas. Egypt is a big country and accents vary from region to region, but the Cairene dialect is the most widely understood and therefore the most useful. We strongly recommend that you study Colloquial Arabic of Egypt with the accompanying audio. It is very difficult to master the sounds of Arabic without hearing them spoken by native speakers.
The audio not only includes all the dialogues recorded by authentic Egyptian actors, but also additional listening and speaking exercises which will help improve your fluency. Sections of the course that appear on the audio are marked with the headphones symbol.
Above all, it is important to enjoy your learning and to have a go at communicating right from the start. Nobody will mind if you make a mistake and foreigners speaking Arabic are still rare enough for you to make a real impression.

It was influenced by the Coptic language, a descendant of Ancient Egyptian which was spoken alongside Arabic until about the 17th century in parts of Egypt, and also by Turkish. Cairene Arabic, the dialect of Egyptian capital, Cairo, is the most prestigious form of Egyptian Arabic, and is used in political cartoons, advertising, song lyrics and plays, and occasionally in informal correspondence and dialog in fiction. Modern Standard Arabic is used for other purposes.
