Urgently need to learn Egyptian Arabic - looking for best resources/plans?

Hello

As my title suggests, I am urgently looking to learn the egyptian dialect of arabic. If it helps my family is specifically from Alexandria.

To make a long story short, I want to do this for my grandfather, he is 80 and I want to speak with him in arabic for once. I am 22 and his only grandchild, I grew up in the same house with him and I never spoke to him in his own language. I asked my mother and grandmother a lot to teach me when I was a kid but they never bothered. My father isnt egyptian or arab so he does not know any to teach me. I never learned any but I picked up on a little bit maybe over the years.

Since I am doing this for my grandfather, and he is 80, I cannot take so much time to learn. I need to learn as fast as possible. What are my best resources? How do you guys like to study? How can I become fluent as fast as humanly possible? Help! I have the time, motivation, and dedication.

Any and all tips, opinions, thoughts, resources, etc.. are all appreciated very very much!! Thank you <3

First time mudlarking haul!

Accidentally uncovered an intense passion for mudlarking after finding these at the creek on complete accident 2 days ago. Haven’t been able to shut up about it or stop planning my next trip. Sooooo excited to join this community to enjoy what you all have found and share what I find!!

This was all found within a few feet of each other!

I included a few extra pics - the one brown glass seems to have an imperial crown on it, it also looks almost yellowish green when light goes through it rather than the bottle neck which is standard brown/amberish when light passes through

The glazed red clay has almost a tigers eye effect to it when I shine light on it but it doesn’t pick up the best on camera so that’s the best it would show.

Also - for that super lovely blue phoenix, I used google lens and it seems like someone else was able to find a similar piece and identify where it came from!! How fortunate I am to have found a piece like that!!!

Guys before the comments get totally flooded - I AM LOSING WEIGHT! It’s a completely reasonable recommendation but im well aware of it & actively working on it so it’s not very impactful!

-50lbs + down since January, well over -50lbs + more to go!

A lot of people have been telling me my brows need to be .. fixed lol

I mean I thought yeah they’re thicker but nothing too bad? A lot of people have been suggesting trying something new with my brows lol

Hello everyone!!

Looking for any and all thoughts, opinions, & recommendations!! ❤️❤️❤️
The full description of my routine is below! I have also included my day by day routine in the pics!! It’s not always exactly like that, sometimes I’ll add or take away a product but I almost always follow the actives. Sometimes I’ll add less or more moisture/hydration is all. :) or forget to Gua sha (I do it basically when I remember, usually 2-3x per week, but just not on differin nights!)
