What to expect when moving to Morocco by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Is there anything you wish you had known before moving to Morocco? For example, transportation, internet speeds, types of housing, aspects of the culture or social life. In your opinion, what's the most important thing to know ...
1. Learning Basic French or arabic will help a lot as people dont speak English much. 2. Almost every decent sized town has supermarket (e.g. Acima), which contains almost every product of daily use: Meat, vegetables, soft drinks, kitchen items, ... Read More

Mistakes expats make in Morocco by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Did you make any mistakes when you first moved to Morocco? What were they? How did you address your mistakes? Did you learn anything from them? With hindsight, what would you do differently? Are there any tips you could ...
Yes, many. Here are few: 1) Not learning few words of arabic/french: Since I stayed for long time, I made a big mistake by not getting familiar with these two languages. I had a very hard time initially because most of the general public do not ... Read More

Learn Arabic in Casa or Eljadida? by missicy
Hello there, I'd like to ask if there's any good language school in Casablanca or El jadida that offer Arabic lessons? Any suggestion? Merci beaucoup.
Yes, There are arabic/french schools in El jadida as i have attended one. The problem however was, the teacher didn't know english, so it was very hard to comprehend what he was teaching. My only suggestion is, whether you join school or private ... Read More
Language Barrier
