Learn Egyptian Arabic online, live with native speakers
Egyptian Arabic — Masri — is the dialect most Arabic speakers understand, because they grew up with Egyptian films, songs and television. In our live small-group circles you practise it out loud with a native tutor instead of memorising lists. Start with two free sessions a month, no card required.
- Native Egyptian tutors
- Beginner to advanced circles

Frequently asked questions
- Why learn Egyptian Arabic rather than another dialect?
- Egyptian Arabic is the most widely understood spoken dialect in the Arab world thanks to decades of Egyptian film, TV and music. Learning it means most Arabic speakers will understand you, wherever they're from.
- Do I need to know Modern Standard Arabic first?
- No. You can start speaking Egyptian from your first circle. If you already study Fusha, the tutors point out where the two differ so you keep both clear.
- Are the tutors actually Egyptian?
- Our dialect circles are led by native speakers. You can see each tutor's country and specialties on the tutors page before you book.
- Can I learn Egyptian Arabic online for free here?
- Yes. The Free Forever plan includes two live small-group sessions every month with no card required. Paid plans simply add more weekly sessions.
- How much do I actually speak in a session?
- Circles are deliberately small, so every learner talks in every session. Most classes run 60 minutes with structured pair and group speaking time.
