Hello,

I’m doing my final school project on Moroccan Darija proverbs. I started this project to explore how recognizable Darija proverbs are, if Moroccans (especially the younger generation) are familiar with them, and whether second-generation Moroccans or foreigners interested to learn Darija would like to know more about this aspect of Moroccan culture.

I would really appreciate it if you could take the very short survey linked below to help my research.
