Should I learn Modern Standard Arabic or a dialect?

Modern Standard Arabic (الفصحى, al-fusha) is used in news, books and formal writing across all Arab countries, while spoken dialects (Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf, Maghrebi) differ significantly. MSA is the best starting point for reading — LingoBear generates MSA reading texts on any topic you choose.

Is Arabic hard to learn for English speakers?

Arabic is FSI Category IV — about 2,200 class hours for English speakers. The right-to-left script has 28 letters with contextual forms, words are built from triconsonantal roots (k-t-b → كتب write, كتاب book, مكتبة library), and grammar uses dual number and case endings. LingoBear's tap-to-translate helps you parse the script in context.
