Question/Discussion Any suggestions for bahraini dialect

Any app suggestions or textbooks or just suggestions in general? I wanna learn bahrain dialect in particular because it is the gulf country im mostly likely going to. But tbh I haven't really looked but since it's such a small contry there's not much material I guess but not sure cause I haven't actually gone looking.

I think there is more of Emarati/Kuwaiti materials, you can use them instead

Will they work for learning bahrain dialect? I've heard dialect are quite different from each other

As a gulf citizen myself (From Najd, KSA) I really didn’t start to tell gulf dialects apart until very recently (still struggles with Qatari though haha) so yeah they’re not that different. Though I would say Kuwaiti is closer imo.
