FAQ

Frequently asked

Do I need to know Arabic letters? โ–พ

No. Everything is shown in Latin script (transliteration), Arabic script, and English. Pick what works for you.

Can I use it offline? โ–พ

We're a web app, so an internet connection is required. Mobile apps are on the roadmap.

Is there a free plan? โ–พ

Yes. Translate, decode, and browse a free preview of every feature. Upgrade only if you want full content.

What is Moroccan Darija? โ–พ

Moroccan Darija is the Arabic dialect spoken every day across Morocco. It mixes classical Arabic with Amazigh (Berber), French, and Spanish, and it's what Moroccans actually use at home, in the street, and in the souk โ€” not the formal Arabic taught in schools.

How is Darija different from Standard Arabic? โ–พ

Standard Arabic (MSA) is the formal Arabic used in news and official writing. Darija is spoken โ€” faster, looser, and full of borrowed words. A Darija speaker understands MSA, but most non-Moroccan Arabic speakers struggle to follow Darija without practice.

Can I learn Darija without knowing the Arabic alphabet? โ–พ

Yes. Every word and example on DarijaPro is shown in Latin transliteration alongside the Arabic script and English meaning. Many learners start with Latin only and pick up the Arabic letters later.

What's the fastest way to learn Moroccan Arabic? โ–พ

Start with the most common phrases โ€” greetings, food, transport, numbers โ€” and use them every day. Listen to real Moroccan content like songs and conversations, and practice speaking with a native whenever possible. Daily 15-minute sessions beat occasional long ones.

How long does it take to become conversational in Darija? โ–พ

With 15โ€“30 minutes a day, most learners hold basic conversations within 2โ€“3 months and become comfortably conversational in 6โ€“12 months. Speed depends on prior Arabic exposure and how often you actually speak.

Is Darija written in Arabic or Latin script? โ–พ

Both. Officially it's written in Arabic letters, but online โ€” texts, social media, dictionaries โ€” most Moroccans use Latin letters with numbers (3 = ุน, 7 = ุญ, 9 = ู‚). DarijaPro shows you both for every entry.

Is Darija the same as Amazigh (Berber)? โ–พ

No โ€” they're different languages. Amazigh (Tamazight) is the indigenous language of North Africa, with its own script (Tifinagh โตฃ) and grammar. Darija is an Arabic dialect with Amazigh loanwords. Many Moroccans speak both.

Does DarijaPro have games to practice Darija? โ–พ

Yes. DarijaPro includes 5 mini-games designed for real Moroccan situations: Word Challenge (multiple-choice translation), Learning Clock (telling the time in Darija), Souk Bargain (haggling phrases with a virtual vendor), Scene Explorer (clicking objects in Moroccan scenes to learn their names), and Word Puzzle (forming Darija words from letter tiles).

Can I see live weather and local time for cities in Morocco? โ–พ

Yes. DarijaPro shows the current local time in Casablanca and live weather for major Moroccan cities โ€” Casablanca, Marrakech, Fez, Rabat, Tangier, and Agadir โ€” so you can plan a call, a trip, or just stay connected to what's happening on the ground right now.

What time zone does Morocco use, and does it observe daylight saving? โ–พ

Morocco uses Western European Time (WET, UTC+0) and switches to Western European Summer Time (WEST, UTC+1) most of the year. Morocco temporarily shifts back to standard time during the month of Ramadan. The live time on DarijaPro automatically reflects the current local time in Casablanca, so you don't have to track the change yourself.

Can DarijaPro tell me about upcoming Moroccan holidays? โ–พ

Yes. DarijaPro tracks Moroccan religious, national, and cultural holidays โ€” Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Throne Day, Yennayer (Amazigh New Year), and more โ€” and shows you which one is coming up next, how many days are left, and the cultural context behind it. Useful whether you live in Morocco, plan to visit, or just want to know why everything's closed on a given day.

How do you say common Moroccan phrases like "hello" or "thank you" in Darija? โ–พ

Salam โ€” Hello / hi Sbah lkhir โ€” Good morning Msa lkhir โ€” Good evening Beslama โ€” Goodbye Chokran โ€” Thank you Labas? โ€” How are you? Hamdullah โ€” Thanks be to God / I'm well Yallah โ€” Let's go / come on Inshallah โ€” God willing / hopefully Bsm Allah โ€” In the name of God (said before eating, starting something, etc.)

Does DarijaPro tell me when a translation changes based on gender or whether I'm speaking to one person or many? โ–พ

Yes. Many Moroccan Darija words change form depending on who's speaking and who's being addressed โ€” masculine, feminine, singular, or plural. DarijaPro shows a small badge next to each translation when this matters: โ™‚ Male, โ™€ Female, or P (Plural). If there's no badge, the same word works for everyone, regardless of gender or number. That way you always know whether the phrase you're learning is one-size-fits-all or specific to who you're talking to.

What makes DarijaPro the best way to learn Moroccan Arabic? โ–พ

DarijaPro is a complete platform, not a single tool. In one place you get a verified Darija dictionary, a translator with grammar and gender forms, a sentence decoder that breaks any Darija phrase down word-by-word, a verb conjugator covering 9 pronouns and 3 tenses, structured lessons with spaced repetition, 5 mini-games for real Moroccan situations like haggling and telling time, Moroccan music with synced lyrics and translations, a custom dictionary you build yourself, a holiday calendar with cultural context, and live time and weather across Moroccan cities. Everything you need to actually speak Darija โ€” in one app.

One platform.
