I'm learning Moroccan Arabic and Tamazight / Tashelhit as I spend a lot of time in Morocco. I am next visiting for February 2017 and would really like some intensive 1:1 lessons, preferably from a female native speaker. I've been informally learning Darija for 6 years but still consider myself at beginner level - I am quite confident at speaking but find it difficult to understand native speakers, so would love more speaking and listening practice. And although my vocabularly is slowly growing, I need to get the sentence structure correct to make myself understood. I'm an absolute beginner when it comes to Tamazight/Tashelhit, knowing just a handful of words/phrases, but my daughters are half Imazighen and we'd love to be able to communicate with their extended family when we visit them - they live in the area where the dialects merge. I am happy to take part in language exchange and share my native English with people who are able to share Darija or Tamazight, or to pay for 1:1 lessons in the languages I need to learn.

    At our peril (to be in peril) = at risk of danger, death or other extreme situation. The adjective 'perilous' = something dangerous.

    Are you trying to say: "Which language do you think is the most difficult? Give your opinion." ?

    How can she go against the aging process? How can she appear younger than she did before? (Ditto Jake, the verb 'to revert' can't be used here). I can't help but guess she's a Botox user (but also Brad's and Jake's answers could be used and be correct). I can't believe that she belongs to the same generation as my mum.

    In the context of this song 'hooking up' refers to people establishing intimate relations with one another at a party. However, you can also 'hook up' with a friend, e.g. meet for a drink in a café. However, the phrase 'hook it up' wouldn't actually be used in conversation when referring to these things, this is creative license for the song (you'd only use the phrase 'hook it up' in general conversation if you were actually hooking an object to another object, e.g. attaching a caravan to a car - "You can hook it up now.")

    The 'local angle' means that the people living within that specific place can relate to the content, e.g. in Britain an advertising campaign would work most effectively if it includes references to things that are typically British rather than e.g. typically American.

    Should I learn from all Tamazight dialects? I know the Berber languages are very regional, I have a number of documents in English-Tamazight and French-Tamazight, but is it worth using those sources that aren't from the exact region I usually travel to? Does the Tamazight dialect have significant variety that would make me misunderstood in the High Atlas if I learnt a dialect from, e.g. the Middle Atlas?
