Bilmasri

Bilmasri is a podcast dedicated to the Egyptian dialect, its sounds, structures, vocabulary and culture. It is complemented by an Instagram & Facebook account for Egyptian idioms.
Bilmasri is for intermediate learners of Arabic who have so far been focusing on Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), and who would like to understand how the Egyptian dialect works.
The starting point of most episodes is a text in MSA – a news story, an excerpt from a work of fiction, or another text – which I've adapted into Egyptian.
In the 1st part of each episode, I slowly read out the Egyptian version of the text. In the 2nd part I talk (in English) about aspects of the language just heard: this could be pronunciation, grammar, vocab, idioms, etc. with a particular focus on differences & similarities between Egyptian & MSA. The clips will contain both Egyptian Arabic and MSA (or English) versions of the text. 
Older episodes are gradually being added to the YouTube channel - please bear with me!
