Darija questions answered
How long does it take to learn Darija?
How many hours it takes to speak basic Moroccan Darija depends on your goals, starting level and practice. Here's how to think about it.
Short answer
There is no fixed number — it depends on your starting point, how often you study and how much you practise between lessons. A short programme covers greetings and survival phrases; reaching comfortable conversation takes longer, steady practice.
