How the book works: 404 verbs conjugated in past, present and future, with all darija pronouns (including Northern/Southern/Neutral variants) and pronunciation audios.

There is no darija without conjugation. What exists is darija badly taught.

Frequently asked questions

What level do I need?

Recommended for A2-B1 in darija. If you do not yet manage about 500 basic words, we recommend starting with "500 words in Moroccan" and coming back to this one.

Does it include every tense?

Yes. For each verb you will find present, past, imperative and participle — the four pillars of Moroccan conjugation.

Is it standard darija or from a specific region?

It is the most widely used darija (a common register understood across all of Morocco). We flag when a verb has relevant regional variants (north, south, Casablanca).

How do I access the audio and downloads?

Inside the printed book you will find a 6-character alphanumeric code. Enter it at arabooki.com/lector and unlock permanent access to the book's native pronunciation audio and downloads.

Does the digital access expire?

No. As long as you own the book, your access to the reader area is permanent. No subscription, no renewals.

Common mistakes

What this book spares you

The mistakes that slow down or stop most learners — and how this book cuts them at the root.

  • ✗ Common mistake

    Thinking darija "has no conjugation"

    ✓ How the book avoids it

    The myth that darija is not conjugated is FALSE. It has 8 pronouns, three basic tenses (past/present/future) and clear rules. The book lays them out, with full conjugation of the 404 most-used verbs.

  • ✗ Common mistake

    Looking up conjugations loose, with no table

    ✓ How the book avoids it

    Googling "how do you say I wanted in darija" and getting 3 different answers is normal. A clean past/present/future table for all 8 pronouns removes the doubt and lets you conjugate similar verbs by analogy.

  • ✗ Common mistake

    Ignoring Northern/Southern variants

    ✓ How the book avoids it

    "I want to go" is said differently in Tangier vs Marrakech. The book flags when a verb changes between variants, so you know what to say where and why what you hear sometimes sounds odd.

  • ✗ Common mistake

    Learning the base form without sentence usage

    ✓ How the book avoids it

    Knowing "kteb" (he wrote) without knowing how to say "ana ktbt risala" (I wrote a letter) does not get you speaking. Every verb in the book comes with contextual examples.
