Praise for the book - what travelers, students and scholars are saying on both sides of the Atlantic
“The first edition of Moroccan Arabic was a much-needed delight, a lively and engaging introduction to the language, as authoritative as a traditional textbook but much more accessible and entertaining. With the growing international interest in North Africa, this second edition, combining the work of U.S. and Moroccan scholars, is especially welcome.”

-- Marvin Carlson
Distinguished Professor of Theatre
Comparative Literature and Middle Eastern Studies
The City University of New York

“A must-have, low-cost, high-utility manual for navigating the at-times confusing, yet crucially important events unfolding in North Africa and the Middle East today. [And supports a worthy Morocco-based academic NGO] that pulls together a remarkable gathering of scholars and artists from around the world each year at its annual conference held at the breathtakingly beautiful historic Kasbah Museum of Tangier.”

-- Fawzia Afzal Khan
Professor, Montclair State University

“A great resource. I wish had this book when I was traveling and researching in Morocco.”

-- Jennifer A Roberson
Professor of Islamic Art
Sonoma State University, California

"I am so excited about this book! Congrats to the writer, editors, and publisher. Mabrook!”

-- Sarah Dohrmann
Writer - New York City
Fulbright Scholar to Morocco - Fez and Asliah

The sub-title of the book is hilarious! Buy it - a great resource for anyone serious about exploring modern Morocco and learning Arabic.

-- Soufiane Chami
Arabic Teacher, Berkeley, California
(MA in English from Abdelmalek Essaâdi University - Tetoaun)

"I love the sense of humor woven throughout – it’s an enjoyable read. A great example of collaboration."

-- Edwin Bodensiek
Director of Outreach and Public Relations
Council for International Exchange of Scholars - Fulbright
Washington, D.C.

This book fills a gaping hole in Moroccan Arabic instruction. In Dr. Sakulich's book one finally has a resource book that is accessible, not tied to a single institution, and based on the first-hand immersion experiences of a native English-speaker who navigated Moroccan culture and language for a year. Highly timely, and as a researcher in Morocco myself, I found it handy.

--Nabil Khan
Fulbright Scholar to Morocco - Fes and Rabat

A wonderful resource for learning this rich variation of Darija – this guide provides English speakers with the tools necessary to overcome the difficulties of learning Moroccan Arabic. Far from being an ordinary dry text-book, Shnoo the Hell is Going on H’naa playfully combines the features of professional linguistics with lively real world sensibilities. Packed with conversational examples, extensive explanations and comprehensive glossaries, render this book a faithful companion on your travels to the other side of the Atlantic.

Moroccan Arabic is a compact companion to Moroccan Darija written by a born teacher, Aaron Sakulich and put together by an exemplary Cultural Geographer, George F. Roberson. This book enhances effective language instruction and builds a collection of everyday conversation resources for Anglo-American students and scholars.
