Darija School

What it actually is

A modern course platform for Moroccan Arabic — the dialect furthest from anything a Modern Standard course prepares you for — with a set of free modules before the paid tiers, taught by native speakers. Useful for anyone moving to or working in Morocco. Darija's Amazigh and French loan vocabulary means very little transfers to Middle Eastern Arabic, so choose it deliberately rather than as your default dialect.
