I emailed a good friend of mine in Morocco today. Sadly, we have not had the opportunity to talk in quite some time. I have been wanting to practice my Moroccan Arabic and have had very limited opportunities to do that.
I have been to a few Moroccan restaurants and made friends with wait staff. They are always impressed that I am so interested in learning Moroccan Arabic so they’ve been very encouraging. I can still use basic phrases and, fortunately, my being fluent in Spanish allows me to have decent pronunciation of Arabic words.
I’d like to learn Classical Arabic so that I could practice with a larger population. I have some books to practice with and tried using the Rosetta Stone program for a bit. None of these methods are as good as actually conversing with someone. I wish I could have stayed in Morocco a bit longer!
