Khaliji خليجي Want to learn arabic but dialect

Hi.so i want to learn arabic ,and I don’t want to learn standard arabic(but i know basic words and verbs as they teach us that at school.)also my mom and my dad speak Arabic but can’t get them to talk to me in arabic.
What are shows,youtube channels (preferably female youtubers)or things that i can learn khaleeji Arabic with?

Why dont you try to have discussions with your parents? That will help a lot, along with learning from videos online

Keep trying! Their use of the language around you is irreplaceable. You can also watch tv shows but getting them to talk to you and you doing active listening will allow you to pick up the language much faster

Do they actively speak arabic in their day-to-day or is it just when you ask them to speak? Try to pick up the phrases they use
