I'd learn some arabic phonology and vocab so I could pronounce place names and foods better, and unnerve white people.
and then maybe study the language semi-seriously because it seems like an actually cool language and it sounds really beautiful
You have a noble goal!
Learning the Arabic script and phonology is quite easy and straightforward, you can start here and check my post history for the remaining lessons.
I recommend a free app called language transfer. I've been using it for Spanish, but also I've just started Arabic. It takes the form of a recorded dialogue between a teacher and a student and basically teachers you to think in the language using helpful connections between English and the language you want to learn. The English to Spanish course is excellent, and whilst the Arabic one feels a little harder, I've been enjoying it.
It's 100% free
FYI, language transfer teaches the Egyptian dialect, not MSA. I haven't looked into it enough to make a judgement on its quality or effectiveness so I can't speak to that.
Yeah it spends quite a bit of time explaining all that, but also that Egyptian dialect is very well recognised.
Yeah absolutely. I'm just of the opinion that it's best to have a solid base in MSA before learning a dialect, unless the learner has a specific reason to start with colloquial Arabic. Anyway, hope your Arabic language learning is fruitful
