[QUOTE]Originally posted by newcomer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Snoozin: [b]Thanks Newcomer, What do you suggest I try to learn (with key emphasis on the *try*)? I mean, if I move to Cairo, inshallah, I want to be able to speak with my fiance's parents in Arabic, so that would be colloquial Egyptian Arabic, right? But I also need to know how to read street signs and that type of thing. I don't think I'll ever be fluent, but I'd like to be able to follow *most* of a conversation. <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/smile.gif"> I told Pendarth, I'm having trouble just with the alphabet right now! The different forms for certain positions in the word. Ay, it gives me a headache to think about it! I dream these days of diacritical marks! <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/smile.gif"> Salam, Snoozin [/b][/QUOTE] If your main focus is speaking to the family, I would concentrate efforts on that. There are a whole bunch of teach yourself Egyptian tape sets you could use as a start until you get here, but you also need to read Arabic, especially if you are thinking about Islam. But maybe concentrate on simple reading and pronounciation first rather than getting deeply into the grammar. Sadly there is no way round learning both to have any level of functionality here.
