It is much better to say بخير then to say تمام. Teaching people a mess of dialectics and modern standard arabic is not going to help them. Either you learn a dialect Arabic from Morocco, Syria or Egypt, or you'll be studying MSA, because intertwingling the two only causes people to not understand you, (which is the problem of the dialects).

Yeah. I got caught by this too. I think "family is" is more common in the US, as I get picked up for "family are" whenever I use it in an Arabic exercise. But "family are" is definitely more common in my part of the UK.
