Learning Moroccan Arabic
Moroccan Arabic. Peace Corps/Morocco, led by Training Manager Abderrahmane Boujenab, has substantially revised lessons from the Peace Corps’ 1994 Moroccan Arabic book by Abdelghani Lamnanouar, rewrote some lessons completely and added new material to arrive at this new edition. Language instructors Aicha Ait Cherif, Malika Boukbout, Mohamed Mahmoudi and Abdellah Ouhmouch contributed. Layout and design was by former Morocco RPCV Stephen Menicucci.
Trainees use the manual with their LCFs during the PST and with their tutors at their sites. Its competency-based approach made it a reliable tool in learning the basics and survival Moroccan Arabic dialect in some weeks.
