Halo, Labas Alikum?
I’m married to a Moroccan 14 years now and have picked up all of the darija I know by ear, no formal studies.
I live in America but have been around Moroccan enough that I understand 90% of conversation and am able to converse quite comfortably.
My problem is grammar. I am looking to improve my grammar. Where on this forum would be best to improve it? My comprehension and vocab is at an intermediate/advanced level. I look forward to any suggestions.
Welcome on board, here we have many darija learners (who, by the way are no where near your level of proficiency), however we also have great teachers too who will be very helpful. We have the Translations section where you can get stuff translated from either english to darija or darija to english, whatever floats your boat. You can ask as many questions as you like, relating to grammar or anything else that you’d like help in, and our natives will give you a hand nchallah.
Salam Lalla Aicha Allah y’barik fina ou sahal allina. Ameen
I can’t wait to improve so I won’t make silly mistakes anymore with my conjugations and to roll through conversations and develop a rhythm of conversation. Does that make sense? I may understand darija, but I don’t have the ryhthm down yet, you know I’ll listen to l’aylat going back & forth and its almost melodic how certain phrases always have certain corresponding responses. My big goal is to eventually also learn fusha for reciting the Quran properly and then maybe one day learn tashelhait.
Totally agree!!! listening to a Moroccan conversation is like listening to an awesome beat, i love it!! and you’re right, it’s so melodious, to me it’s better than listening to my favourite track inshallah we’ll get there someday…

we also have a tachel7it thread here so you can explore that too when you have time we don’t have as much action going on there, so bare with us, though we do have a few members who speak tachel7it.
Shukran Lalla Aicha. “N’shufek” hena InshaAllah. I’m just gonna spend some time getting familiar.
Wash fakri ana hessni a’nebdaw min lawal fee lessons just to be safe?
I had just read your post and wanted to welcome you too
I, myself, is working on my darija since it’s quite a bit rusty
I also understand 90% of what i hear just like you, except my vocabulary isn’t as advanced as yours
You make me look bad, me being Moroccan and all…haha
Well i hope to see you around, you never know, you may need to help me at times (:
