Egyptian Arabic is the unofficial “official” language of Egypt, as the language has no certified status as an official language. Even so, more than 100 million people (primarily in Northern Africa) speak the language – around 75 million as their first language, and another 25 million as their second language. Of particular interest to Pimsleur learners. Egyptian Arabic is mostly a spoken language; Modern Standard Arabic is the principal written language for government, law, and other regulated activities.

Many people take Pimsleur’s Egyptian Arabic lessons to strengthen ties with family members in Egypt. Others learn to speak Egyptian Arabic to broaden their knowledge of local culture, customs, and even cuisine.
