Hello and welcome! In today's lesson, we will learn the essential Moroccan Darija vocabulary for the rooms and different parts of a house. This is a great starting point for building your practical, everyday vocabulary.

As you go through the words, you might notice that some of them sound familiar. This is because some Darija words are borrowed from French, which can make them a little easier to remember if you already know some French. Let's get started!
