What do I need to know before retiring in Algeria?

"I lived in Algeria for 13 years before returning to my home country. Arabic is the language but it's a North African dialect that other Arabic countries do not understand. It's a mixture of French and Arabic. There are no books that can help you with it, but as you live there you will pick some of it up through the locals. English is becoming more spoken with the younger generations," explained one expat living in Algeria.
