Answer 2

Most online podcasts and audio files won't help you soo much when compared to you having a teacher who helps you out whenever you want, who would know your proper level and can guide you through your journey to learn Arabic, I honestly don't recommend using podcasts or softwares just because in the end you'll not get the proper learning that you would if you went to class or took courses

so I recommend you try out this site



www.arabicollege.com



With this site, you'll have basically a virtual classroom with a designated professor that will help you out throughout learning Arabic, it's very easy to use and very productive, you can assign your classes whenever you want, at your comfort.



Hope this helps :)

If you actually live in Egypt then it shouldn't take you long, but you really need to get out there, hide the nerves and practice with the locals. Also, try to speak to your best friend in Arabic. I recommend that you compliment your studies with Arabic podcasts from http://www.arabicpod.net. They also teach the Egyptian dialect

Answer 4

It's depends on how your practice language (the more you practice . you learned it quicker ) ,knowing that egyptian have there own accent and it's not formal it's street language.

If you want to learn the egyptian accent you have to talk with people in street , mall , whatever. But if you want the formal arabic you have to go to teacher.

i advise you to learn the egyptian accent is easier.

I hope you understand me , i am not good in english

Answer 5

Depends on how fast and how hard you will learn it. Try listening to Arabic songs, watch Arabic news, etc.

Answer 6

'Bout 1 year. Tips, don't speak your native language.

Answer 7

A year or two, just keep practicing it everyday.
