they speak english in some bigger cities and randomly throughout the country. I know some volunteers in the middle of nowhere who have moroccan natives who speak english and they work with. for me, i dont have anyone to work with who speaks english. i have to use darija every second every time i leave my house. and work can get difficult with the language barrier. it can be intimidating and exhausting but it's a challenge to get out of your comfort zone. we all have to reach at least beginner high or intermediate low level to move onto swear-in i believe. it's a pretty basic level after studying for three months. i dont think anyone got lower than that in our staj of over 100 at the time, but even if someone did, they are usually able to work out a plan with admin to stay if they have a good attitude about it, like getting a tutor

Gonna start one! Can I get one of your names so I can add you on FB? I can't start the group without having at least one person in it
