Speak Moroccan Forums

hhhh well....as i left from italy there in casablanca a moroccan guy talked to me in italian.
me i was trying to speak to taxi drivers in french (with lot of difficulties.... ) that guy saw i was in difficult situation for language,also it was late hour and he tried to help me asking the taxi drivers for me and also telling me "beware don't give them more then 200 dirhams,they're so fishy...." well he gave me a good hand but......
poor him! first a taxi driver start to get angry with him.... then they were like 7 people running behind him....
but as you told i always had someone around me trying to solve my problem... i love that

but during the night in Casa that kind boy asked me if i know some arabic
i was saying "ana,hiya,nta,huwa"
i think these are easy to remember for every one

so Touta don't dare to say: salam aleikum  or they will really think you speak darija,and they'll start with that fast river of consonants in which every one can lost himself LOL

you are both very nice girls, i know you from this website and i know you have good hearts.

but i just want to say 2 things (i could say more but no i will just say these 2):

i don't see very often the scenes you both described of normal moroccan people swarming over tourists to try and take their money. i do see tourists swarming over morocco trying to take take take all the time everything, and have everything the way they want it, and be as comfortable as possible, and not take time to really understand anything. there are some bad sides, bad people and bad things that are directly related to the tourist industry. and i think (not all) but a lot of it exists because of the way the european and american tourists act when they are in morocco.

if some moroccans now need education on brushing their teeth with western toothbrushes and toothpaste it is because the west brought coca cola and refined sugar to morocco.
