ساكون في ابو ظابي الاسبوع القادم لكن لا اعرف اللهجة الخليجية.
Additional Details:
I am very familiar with insistence among Arabs that Fusha is the only way to go, but it is very frustrating after learning MSA for 4 years to realize that many radio and TV shows are in what amounts to another language. My experience in Egypt and Morocco and Lebanon is that people become intimidated by Fusha, and among the expat Arabs, they may not even understand it. Films in Arabic are in Egyptian usually, and I have been learning Egyptian for some time now. I also have some experience with Lebanese colloquial. I have noticed that in Guf Arabic, the word for 'now' is الحين, not الان not دالوقت, not هلاأ. or دبا. Are all of these forms known to Arabic speakers?Share:

إذا كنت لا تجيد اللهجة الدارجة في أي بلد عربي ، فبإمكانك أن تتكلم الفصحى فهي اللغة الرسمية في جميع العالم العربي
As Zahra & Shehri said you can speak Fusha & the people will understand you.

After studying in both Australia and Oman, I share your frustration, but I still think MSA is the way to go for a genuine student of the language.
Firstly, print media is all in FusHa.
Secondly, most international/Arabic AV media will be in FusHa, although their pronunciation and accent will differ.
Lastly, but most importantly, while it may be a challenge and a frustration to have to learn Egyptian (for example) after studying MSA, it is still easier to learn multiple dialects with a base in MSA.
I guess it depends on your endgame. If you want to live and work in Egypt, then learn that dialect first. If you want to live and work in Jordan, then learn their dialect first.
If you want to learn Arabic for national security/international business/aid work then MSA is the only real option chiefly due to how flexible it is. Sure, fluency in MSA will still make communication awkward, but by the same token, fluency in MSA will grant you such a deep and ingrained understanding of Arabic that dialect will be a piece of cake.
