I understand their political motives, but would argue that thousands of years of hybridity Africans, and later the Arabs, has culminated in the rich tapestry that Morocco is today.

Back to Moroccan Arabic:

Sh'haal f' omrak? How old are you? Literal translation: (Sh'haal (how many); f' (in), omrak (your age)
B'sh'haal l'btata? How much are the potatoes (B'sh'haal (how much); l' (the); Btata (potatoes)
M'neen anta? Where are you from? M'nen (from where) anta (you masculine); anti (feminine)

The problem for me with the idea of on line learning is that I really feel I need help with pronounciation, which you only get face to face or from a tape. I'd be very grateful for any suggestions or recommendations for a teacher.

The content of this thread is likely to be of benefit to people who may or may not be interested in Hifd and Tajweed. I personally have no interest in that at the moment. But thanks for the suggestion.

My students appear to still be on leave!
