Welcome to Algerian with Mona!
The FIRST website where you can learn how to speak the Algerian dialect.
Salam!
I am Mona, an Algerian teacher who teaches Arabic (MSA), English and of course the Algerian dialect online. I was a teacher of English in public schools for eight years. In 2019, I decided to try something new which is teaching online. So I started to teach students English and Arabic (MSA). Surprisingly, most of my students want to learn the Algerian dialect more precisely, because they could not find free useful learning resourses online. That’s when I decided to create this website that will hopefully help students, whether they are Arabic or Non-Arabic speakers, learn how to speak the Algerian dialect like natives do.
P.S: Unfortunately, I stopped giving private lessons for the moment.
Before you start learning,
what you should know about the Algerian dialect.
The Algerian (Arabic) dialect originates from Classical Arabic (Fusha). Over the centuries, we inherited so many words from the Spanish, Turkish-Ottoman and the French languages.
It is the language that we speak only, we don’t write it. Also, it has so many variations, going from one region to another, intonation, words and expressions can change. Not to mention Algeria has also another completely different dialect, The Amazigh which has also its own variations (Chawi,Kabylie, Targui, Muzabit). Here, on this website, I teach one of the Algerian Arabic dialects that is understood everywhere in Algeria.
