There is now a sequel to Kalaam Gamiil. What does the title actually mean? Beautiful talk?

Does anyone has something to add here?

I'm taking Michel Thomas Egyptian Arabic, but I'm still unsure of what to do next. I wanted to try Assimil, but that's
MSA, not the Egyptian dialect...

Do you have background in MSA, or are you starting with Egyptian Arabic?
Although there has been an increase in quality resources for some Arabic dialects (such as Egyptian and Levantine),
many of them require knowledge of the Arabic script and some of them also assume knowledge of basic MSA
grammar.

That being said, I recommend Kalaam Gamiil - it has great and varied audio, vocabulary lists, drills, etc. and also
explores the grammar (and most of the time comparatively to MSA).
GLOSS has some great Egyptian Arabic listening modules as well. :)

I'm just starting with Egyptian Arabic, but I already know the script and Michel Thomas helps a lot with the grammar part. Thanks a lot! I'll look for that book! =)
