One of the typical questions that I continually make is whether you can learn Arabic Algeria. I have tried, without success, so my answer based on experience is not, but I'll try to explain why.
Arabic spoken in the street, at least in Algiers, is the standard Arabic, which might be called classical Arabic, but a quite different local dialect, enriched with many words of French origin, mainly, or derivations of their own.
The Arabic language is the written standard. But the problem is written in that language only written very few consonants and vowels. It is similar to the language of SMS. If previously unknown word, you can not pronounce.
Books for learning Arabic other vowels are written. But another problem arises. The teaching methods that exist in Algeria are not intended for Arabic as a foreign language for learners of Arabic writing are always children who already speak it. And the books show pictures of things children already know, like a book, a lion, a sheep, a house, a table ... It saves the written word from the knowledge of the spoken name of the object. In his day
tried to learn Arabic, but starting from scratch. The professor treated me like a child and hoped that repeating the alphabet in order, beginning with alif, I stayed with him. I changed the new teacher and was a typical every day is a different excuse for not coming to class. I ended up discouraging. I think
to learn Arabic in Algeria have to come and with a basic knowledge of letters and a certain level of vocabulary.
