Hi Alex, My advice to you, try to take MSA like a way to learn Egyptian Colloquial, if you can speak and understand MSA so you can learn Egyptian Colloquial just in few weeks, the learning will be by different ways like songs, movies and series is okay but the best way PRACTICE with Egyptian partnars, and i hope you can practice in real life not only by social media tools. Wish a good luck to you.

Hi Alex Here are a few tips hope they help 1) Listen to Egyptian Arabic (Tv shows, films, soap operas and songs) even if you don't understand a thing! It helps to get used to listening to the language. 2) I'd say you have to go into a more dedicated course to Egyptian arabic (are you using any textbooks in the mean time? what's your level in ECA? it'll help me to know your level in order to decide what's suitable for you at this stage) You can work on that with other extra materials and recourses 3) Again, I am not sure of your level but try these materials as extra materials (from lingualism) https://lingualism.com/section/arabic/egyptian-arabic/ The diaries one and "Shwayya an nafsi" are good. 4) Use what you learn: new words, expressions and grammatical rules in new contexts. Use it with friends or just by writing it or recording it for a start. 5) When you learn something new don't just learn it, use it that's a must! Wether in speaking or as I said in no 4 in just creating an example context (long sentence or more). Best of luck! بالتوفيق وربنا معاك

Hello !! Why don't you try watching Egyptian movies/series. It's more practical , I guess Many Arabs lernt Egyptian Colloquial like that PS: I'm not Egyptian , yet a nativ Arabic speaker (tunisian)

you can join my group for learning Arabic on WhatsApp:) fell free to message me if you're interested.. And also you can listen to Arabic music, I Would recommend Amr Diab because he sings with Egyptian dialect.
