yes when you have good language and want improve it it is of cours better to have conversation with native speaker , but at the begining of learning a language it is better to listen to text chat because it is hard to understand native speaker, this is from my experiments

شو الاختلاف بين اللهجات العربية ؟ 

و هل الاختلافات كثيرة ؟

هل هو صعب تعلم اللغات معا؟ أم افضل تعلم لهجة واحدة

شكرا لكل المجيبين

my advise for you is first you should really focus on alfusha and learn it well because it is the orgin for all dialects , and all arabic country writes in alfusha and speak in their dialect , so if you understand alfusha you will be able to understand all dialect, and then you should focus on one dialect because there are many diffrences between some dialect , i really dont understand well the morrocon dialect and i am Syrian although they understand me , so you should learn the middle east accent like Syria and jordan ... it is in the middle of all accents and understandable to all and easy

you cant learn all dialect together you will waste your time and learn nothing or you will learn strange mixed accent nobody talk it

the man who run behind two sheeps will lose both of them

and if you need any help in arabic i will be glad to help you

i apperciate your wishes thank you

I recommend lebanon it is beautiful country with very qualified learning institutes,  i ve visited lebanon twice you can enjoy the stay and learn alot and lebanase accent is lovley but lebonan is more expensive than other arabic counties.

If there isnt war in Syria my country,  i would invite you to Syria and be my guest. 

Thank you Bel,  you are so humanitarian

In my country Syria it is the most expensive vegetable its price about one USA Dolla in winter
