This very detailed blog post describes my thoughts on MSA vs dialect, but in this video I decided to interview Nevein (an Egyptian who works for British Airways) in Egyptian Arabic, about Egyptian Arabic!
She tells us that Modern Standard Arabic is not actually as big as you think it is.
I hope you enjoy it! This is the first of a series of updates about my travels in Egypt.
With regards my language level; I'll make another video later where the other person interviews me so that I do more talking. This video was to hear from Nevein, so I only ask some questions (which I think up on the spot and hesitate because of that).
Best wishes from Aswan, where the Nile begins in Egypt, where I'll make my next video from! Internet speeds aren't great here though. It took me **27 hours** to upload this 11 minute video :)
