Is anyone on italki aware that the khaleeji dilaect has imported many english words that were later arabized? If you do list them ;) i will respond with a list soon...
Yalla Salam~
I have a question to arabic learners on itlaki. I have personally, found out that alot of non arabs want to learn a dalect rather than, the proper standard arabic. I understand, if you were a peron living in that part of the world. Learning the dialect will help you interact with locals. Are there any other reasons for you to want to learn the dialect over standard arabic?
By they way! if anyone is interested, I teach standard arabic along with the khaleeji (emarati) dileact.
