Learning Arabic
I always wanted to learn Arabic which was a family language as a kid. I had great difficulty learning the Arabic spoken by my family as a kid. Everytime I had a book to help me learn, my grandmother would always say the same thing "no that's not proper Arabic. The Egyptian Arabic is the proper Arabic." She was mostly wrong, but the truth was I didn't really want to learn MSA, I wanted to learn my family's dialect so I could speak to my cousins and family.
