I speak both and I would have to say the standard. It gets down the basic and is less complicated for the people who are just starting out. Learning is easy if you do it consistently and you might have Standard Arabic down in a year or so.

Colloquial Arabic is just Standard Arabic with more " invented words" , borrowed words from other languages , and different pronounciations , and even more vocab . So to get to know colloquial and understand what you are saying , you should start with the easier form which is standard Arabic.

Note : Every Arabic country has its own colloquial form of Arabic , so sometimes Arabic people from different countries can't understand what the other one is saying , it happens alot with me . But when they both speak standard Arabic , they are in full , excellent communication.

Answer 2

Maha :)

I can teach you Arabic if you want. And to answer your question, I'll say that they are almost the same. But when you travel to an Arabic world like Lebanon, you don't speak standard Arabic. You just write it. The colloqual Arabic differs from a country to another.

Just leave me a message in case you want me to teach you

Answer 3

put bluntly, no.

Not that any language is easy, but learning Arabic as an English speaker is particularly difficult due to the massive grammatical differences between European languages and Arabic, the masses of distinct meanings that single Arabic words tend to have, it's enormous vocabulary, and final the huge variation between regional dialects
