Darija for Travelers — The Moroccan Arabic Phrasebook

A situation-by-situation Darija phrasebook built for travellers with no prior Arabic. Inside: how the book’s Latin spelling system works, the handful of sounds with no English equivalent, and a table of useful everyday verbs; greetings, politeness, family talk and small talk; numbers, money, bigger amounts and haggling; directions and transport; food and ordering; accommodation and hammam vocabulary; shopping and souks; emergencies, pharmacy visits and health, including official emergency numbers; time, days, months and weather; culture notes on Islam, Ramadan and everyday etiquette; and six practice dialogues, including checking into a riad, ordering food, haggling, asking directions, a shared taxi and a pharmacy visit, that put the vocabulary to work in real exchanges. Over 200 phrases are given in tables with plain-letter spelling and a pronunciation guide. Delivered as a clickable PDF of approximately 35 to 45 pages, last updated September 2026, for personal use.
