Try Day 1 of Glyph: your first Egyptian Arabic conversation.

This is the real first lesson from Glyph's guided foundation. You hear each phrase spoken, practice it out loud, and finish by carrying your side of a short greeting conversation. Every Glyph day works the same way: meet the words, deploy them, then prove you can use them.

Day 1 covers six phrases, written in Franco (Latin-letter Egyptian Arabic) with their English meanings: ahlan (hi, to open a conversation), ezzayyak? (how are you?), tamaam (good, all good), wenta? (and you? to hand the question back), meneen? (where from?), and amreeka (America, to say where you are from). By the end you can greet someone, answer how you are, and say where you're from, in spoken Cairene Arabic, not MSA.
