Core Egyptian Arabic Words That Differ From MSA
I speak MSA at a professional level and will now be in Egypt for a long time. Therefore, my goal is to take the next 2-3 months to dive into ECA, but most resources seem to be designed for learners who are starting from zero.

Does anyone know of a list of common ECA words that are different from MSA? Thank you very much.

Answer

تفاعل مع الجمهور في الشوارع هو افضل طريقة. هذا رايي

Answer

I think the the resources are poor to find books that present Arabic dialects in its different levels.
The best way for a learner is to collect the words and phrases from here and there to reach your own target in that language or dialect.
I think from my humble point of view is that joining Forums like this:

might be helpful since it puts you in the Egyptian community and you can contact them or ask anything comes to your mind.
Good luck
