Chapters 1-4 Vocab (مصري)
Hello friends! So in conjecture with my MSA vocab lists, I am going to start doing vocabulary lists for dialects included in my text book, Alif Baa.
So here is the first list for Egyptian Arabic. If y’all see any problems or discrepancies please let me know! I wont know if there are problems unless you tell me!
PS: Sorry it took so long!
Best,
Nathan
