Although Egyptian and other dialects are all supposed to be easier than MSA, I don't know. Hard.
MSA was my first Arabic, so that seems easy to me. The "easy" thing about dialects is that the grammar is less precise, the language is slightly simplified.

The last time I was studying a dialect, I was practicing by chatting with the teacher in the next room, and told her that I was cooking my husband for Thanskgiving! Not what I meant to say at all!
