NOTE ON THE ALPHABET
The following letters have been added to the
Standard Arabic Alphabet to represent sounds in
borrowed words such as 'video' and 'garage'.
"video"
"garage"
Since Moroccan Arabic has both E
sounds, the last two letters have been used to
represent the sound 'g' found in many Moroccan
Arabic words.

INTRODUCTION
This textbook is the result of nearly two years of
research and field testing. We feel that in its present
form it will meet most of the needs of non-native speaker
students. In the course of preparation, each lesson/unit
was field tested in class and then revised in the light
of comments made by students, language instructors and
others involved in the field of language teaching and
learning. We have aimed to make the course as practical
and as simple as possible. For the sake of clarity we
have avoided the use of technical terms in the different
sections of the course.
The Moroccan Arabic dialect used in this textbook is
that spoken in the geographical linguistic triangle whose
points are Rabat, Casablanca and Fes. This is the dialect
which is most widely spoken and understood throughout
Morocco. Those students who will be living in other areas
of the country will realize that there are variations in
pronunciation and vocabulary specific to their regions, e.g.
1. Pronunciation variation
a. Casablanca-Rabat-Fes dialect
1.1.1LA /hakda/ "like this"
b. Northern dialect (Tangiers)
/hayda/ "like this"
2. Word variation
a. Casablanca-Rabat-Fes dialect.
/khizzu/ "carrots"
b. Eastern dialect (Oujda)
371.3.1.4) /zrudiyya/ " carrots"
There are, also, some variations which are not related to
geographical factors. Indeed, some speakers will say 41.1..,
and others will say for 'bank'.
(viii)10
Since Moroccan Arabic is not officially considered
to be a language in its own right and has no official
written form, we have had to devise a writing system
based on Standard Arabic. As far as possible, we have
kept closely to Standard Arabic spelling. This may seem
somewhat confusing to the learner during the early stages
but we believe that it will benefit the student who
chooses to study Standard Arabic. You should not,
therefore, be surprised to find that:
1. some letters are written but not pronounced, e.g.
- drink (pl.)!
We (pl.) drink.
- You (pl.) drank.
(The I 'alif ' here indicates the plural.)
2. or written one way and pronounced differently, e.g.
a. He has /andil/
b. his house /darn/ a.) I
in a. the letter a indicates third person masculine
singular and in b. it is a possessive pronoun.
It should be emphasized that all loan words used in the
text are fully nativized and are considered by native
speakers as Moroccan Arabic words to the extent that some
uneducated speakers are totally unaware that they are
borrowed from French or any other language. Sometimes,
these words do not undergo any change whatsoever as in the
case of:
PCV 'collect phone call'
I made a coil-eat phone call.
- Menu 'menu'
Here is the menu.
.PCV
.Menu
Ii
Most of the lessons/units in the book start with dialogues
rather than texts because the aim of the course is to help
the language learner to achieve competence in the spoken
language and the only natural way to attain this fluency is
by using dialogues which allow for both linguistic and
cultural interaction. It must be pointed out that dialogues
also carry a lot of cultural information that would not be
found in a text. These dialogues have been carefully devised
to represent different aspects of daily interaction within
Moroccan society and the order in which they occur is related
to the pace of the learner in internalizing the target
language, i.e. Moroccan Arabic in this case.
Besides the dialogues, the lesson/units include vocabulary,
grammatical notes made as simple as possible, popular proverbs
and social and idiomatic expressions with explanations on how
and when they are to be used, plus a supplementary dialogue
whichis often a summary used to consolidate certain aspects
of the lesson/unit. The inclusion of popular proverbs and
social and idiomatic expressions is justified by the fact that
it is believed that learning a language is not enough to
understand Morocco and Moroccans. The student should learn
how to behave linguistically and what to say in certain
specific cultural situations.
At the end of the textbook, the student will find two
appendices:
- Appendix A carries translations of the dialogues up to
lesson/unit 5. The last five have not been translated
because we believe that by the time the student has
reached that point, he should be able to do the trans-
lation by himself. These dialogues are kept separate
from the lessons so that students will not be tempted
to look for a translation immediately after discovering
the Arabic text.
Appendix B comprises lists of words deemed of vital
importance in everyday life.
Students will realize that, contrary to the custom
followed in most schools and textbooks, the past tense is
introduced before the present. The reason for such a
decision is simple; in general, learners use the past tense
more often than the present. The scope of use of the
present tense is usually limited to general truths and
habitual actions and it so happens that learners want to
talk about their experiences or what they have done or
what happened to them and they can only do that by using
the past tense.
Finally, it must be said that this textbook has been
devised with the utmost care and sensitivity (both
linguistic and cultural) in mind. We hope it will meet
many of the needs of students in their aim to build
cultural and linguistic bridges to cross to the other side
in order to understand and communicate with others. Before
language was written, it was spoken, so as Shakespeare says:
'Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounc'd it to you,
trippingly on the tongue.' (Hamlet, Act III, Sc. II)
