I am visiting Morocco next month, I have been before but had almost no french, and got by with sign language and smiles. Since then i have studied some french, but am still only a beginner.. i am not ready to tackle arabic (one language at a time!) so i would like to use French where i can - i am just interested to know whether the french spoken in Morocco (or North Africa in general) varies much from what we are learning here?
Any tips appreciated! I will be studying hard for the next few weeks!
