Is it okay to learn MSA arabic
Ive been trying to learn arabic to try to talk to freinds mosty syrian and some from the UAE and Oman. But I have been wondering if MSA is the right path to go and if they will undertand me and if I will understand them. I dont know wether I should learn there dialect or MSA. Plus I want to be able to understand normal conversations between arabs like how are you and where are you from. To me I dont know wether MSA is better or the dialect overall
