Darija is the language Moroccans actually speak every day, at home, in the souk, with the people they love. It’s rooted in Arabic but blends French, Berber, and Spanish influences. Read our complete guide.

Duolingo doesn’t teach Darija, and most Arabic apps teach Modern Standard Arabic, which nobody speaks at home in Morocco. A few apps do teach Darija; darji’s difference is Wissal’s voice on every word, and Darija written the way Moroccans text each other. Start with your first 50 words.

Not at all. We start from zero and teach Darija in Latin script (the way Moroccans text each other).

darji is a web app: it runs in your phone’s browser, and you can add it to your home screen like any app. Apps for iPhone and Android are coming in November.

No. Every word is said by Wissal, your teacher, never text-to-speech. That’s why you hear the Darija of a kitchen or a souk, not a robot.
