Our First Community Conversations!
Authored By:
This week, our Language and Culture students started their community conversations! Every weekday, our students learn new vocabulary and questions in their Moroccan Darija classes and then go out into our neighborhood and practice what they’ve learned with local Moroccans.
Today’s phrases were:
Shnoo smeetik? – What’s your name?
Smeeti… – My name is…
Mneen nta/i? – Where are you from?
Shnoo katdeer/i? – What do you do?
Ana Talib/a – I’m a student
Not only are the conversations excellent for language acquisition, but the daily practice allows our students to engage with the residents of Agdal, our host neighborhood, and vice versa. We’re so proud of them and can’t wait to meet more members of our community!
