Salam Daniel, Greetings from Morocco :) Choosing a dialect depends on your purpose. If you want to work/ live in a specific country from the Arab world. Here are some points I may add, hoping that they can help you understand better the situation. - If you know Fusha ( modern standard Arabic) the rest of dialects will be easy for you, considering the vocabulary side. - As for Moroccan Darija, It’s not understandable by the other arabs for two reasons mainly: — reason 1 : Moroccan Darija ( maybe the dialects of the Maghreb in general ) are a combination of Amazigh (grammar/ words) and Arabic. Because of history. — reason 2 : The Egyptian and Shami dialects, were spread by media thanks to movies and songs. People from the Maghreb, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia understand most of the dialects meanwhile people from the middle east don’t understand the Maghrebi. Mainly for the lack of exposure of Darija. It’s true that Moroccans, Algerians and Tunisians tend to use French words while speaking, because or history of again. But this doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to communicate or understand. I have many students who don’t know French but speak Moroccan Darija very well. Some of them speak also other dialects. Moroccans are familiar with other dialects, they can understand but, the opposite it’s not frequent. A last thing, Moroccan Darija, has a grammar, and once you understand the logic you master it. I hope this makes it a bit clear for you, don’t hesitate to share with me your questions if you have any. Make your choice based on the purpose, and best of luck in your learning !

Bonjour Hasson, n’hésitez pas à consulter mon profil si vous êtes intéressés par des cours individuels. Très bon courage,

Alter ego peut être utile également.

Navrée de voir cela. Malheureusement les gens racistes et mal éduqués existent partout. Nous ne pouvons pas généraliser. Les langues, le voyage et les échanges universitaires sont supposés être des moyens de s’élever et d’accepter, comprendre et surtout de respecter son prochain, son histoire et sa culture. J’espère que les gens continueront à aimer les langues, et les pays indépendamment des gestes irresponsables et offensifs de certains individus. Bon courage à vous :)
