Book Description
Whether you are going to Morocco for tourism or you just fell in love with its language, this book is made for the sole purpose of helping you communicate in Moroccan Arabic (also known as Darija). Darija is a colloquial Arabic dialect that is heavily influenced by Berber Amazigh and to a lesser extent by French and Spanish.Learning a new language is hard as it is, so I can understand the frustration you might feel when you face a new language with a completely different alphabet and not well defined grammar and vocabulary. Fortunately, this book was written while constantly putting myself in your place; therefor I simplified as many grammar rules as possible and made a transcription technique that will help you learn Darija using classical Latin alphabet while slowly getting used to the Arabic script.Oh, and one more thing: it might motivate you to know that Darija speakers can communicate easily with Algerians and Tunisians, in other words, by learning Moroccan Arabic you will add three more countries to your "where can I communicate" list.

Languages : en
Pages : 412

Arabic Sociolinguistics continues to be a uniquely valuable resource for understanding the theoretical framework of the language.

A Look Into the Hidden Aspects of Moroccan Culture that are Necessary for Understanding Local Humor
Author: Matthew Helmke
Publisher: Matthew Helmke
ISBN: 0615142842
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
This project started as a language learning experiment. Matthew Helmke was sitting in a cafe with a Moroccan having a discussion in Moroccan Arabic. The friend told a joke and it was quickly discovered that vocabulary alone would not insure an understanding of humor. This prompted a question, "What did I miss?" In this book, Matthew Helmke explores the hidden aspects of Moroccan culture. These are the things that Moroccans know inherently, without being taught. The result is an intriguing look through the eyes of an American trying to make sense of Moroccan culture.

Arabic vs Arabic
Author: Matthew Aldrich
Publisher: Lingualism.com
ISBN:
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Compare the vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar of MSA and 14 dialects (Algerian, Bahraini, Egyptian, Iraqi, Jordanian, Lebanese, Moroccan, Palestinian, Qatari, Saudi (Hejazi), Sudanese, Syrian, Tunisian, and Yemeni). Free audio downloads available at www.lingualism.com/ava If you’re learning Arabic, you’ve probably started with Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). Or perhaps a dialect? You might be learning both MSA and a dialect (or two!) in tandem. And you’re certainly aware that there are many more dialects out there. It may seem daunting. But just how similar and different are they from one another? If you’re curious, this book is for you. Arabic vs. Arabic: A Dialect Sampler lets you explore the vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar of 15 varieties of Arabic (14 dialects and MSA) through tables with notes and free, downloadable accompanying audio. You can go through the tables in order or skip around the book to see what catches your attention. The book really is meant to be a sampler platter to give you a taste of each dialect and a better understanding of just how varied the various varieties of Arabic are. The layout encourages the self-discovery method of learning. While the notes under many tables identify points of interest, you are encouraged to find patterns, exceptions, innovative features of dialects, and universals by studying the tables and listening to the audio tracks.
