Can arabic speakers understand each other

It depends, bc people from let's say (for example) Egypt have a different dialect than people from Yemen. Overall it depends how experienced you are with the language but yes, arabic speakers can understand each other. It is the same language after all lol.

hope this helps! :)

close reading is a skill that requires students to determine purpose and notice features and language used by the author so that they can think thoughtfully and methodically about the details in the text and why they were used.

hope this works!
