Don't pick a dialect yet
If you found Arabic on TikTok, someone already told you to "just pick Levantine" or "MSA is useless" or "Egyptian is the only one that matters."
Ignore that for 30 days.
Complete beginners stall because they argue about dialect before they can hear the letters. The alphabet, the sounds English never trained you to make, and 50 spoken words will transfer to any dialect. The dialect fight will not.
Do this instead:
Learn the 28 letters and say them out loud.
Learn greetings and the first 50 words with your mouth, not your eyes.
Pick a dialect after you can introduce yourself without freezing.
If you cannot read a single letter today, you are exactly who this is for.
