I have been studying Arabic for two years, both fusha and maghrebi, in the past six months I've studied an average of five hours a day, I've lived in morocco for months and taken lessons, and I'm BARELY beginning to reach basic comprehensionI came to this country a month ago and without any effort I can understand more German than I understand Arabic after busting my ass offHappens in your economic zone?
Arabic pretty much needs a hardcore reset for the modern age that the governments don't have the budget or patience to do I legit have worst Arabic writing skills than Hebrew even though speaking wise it's the opposite, it's because Arabic is just stuck in 1200
>>222834227what's your country of origin?
>>222834438 Spain
>>222834227What's the point of talking to Arabs anyway? A guy from work went to Egypt for a vacation, by his estimate 98% of Egypsies are scumbags who tried to scam him, overcharge, or make moves on his wife right before him.
>>222835206Egyptians are known to be sneaky and scammers
>>222835508The same guy from work has also been to Palestine, said they were easy-going and laid-back. What are some other 'good' subspecies of Arabs?
>>222834227ههه غبي
>>222834260just switch all the places with arabic to hebrew
>>222834227It's difficult as fuck to learn and Fusha can go suck a dick. Also tried, only semi-succesfully, but I imagine what I did with MSA and Jordanian/Palestinian goes a little better together than MSA and Nafrispeak.>>222837396كس أمك
>>222837249I don't understand your need to reach out and socially mingle with foreigners, regardless of them being good or bad.
>>222838306it doesn't surprise me, your ilk is rarely the curious or creative kind
>>222837249The stereotypes I've heard are>Egyptians are retards>Nafris are neither Arabs nor Muslims>Syrians are gay>Lebanese are rude and gay>Iraqis are secretly gay and thus obsessed with being manly men>Saudis eat lizzards and fucked up the Middle East for their American overlords>Emiratis are kinda Jewish>Omanis and Yemenis are kind and likeable
>>222838415Alright then.
>>222834227Yeah no shit, European languages are easy as fuck if you already know another European language, especially a closely related oneCan't be compared to learning an actual alien language with no overlap like Arabic or Chinese, it's legit 10 times harder to do the latter
