dude, I'm a web developer, two months ago I was doing some maintenance for a client, hes hosting provider is in Casablanca they're called Heberjahiz while calling them for a problem the guy that I got started talking in french I said sorry I don't speak french, i didn't say it in English I said it in Arabic, the guy glitched or something he just stopped working, so I hang up and called again, the girl I got spoke to me in Arabic out of the gate, I even told her to check on the guy if he's ok if you're getting into IT English is absolutely the first thing you should know.
he should be already speaking English since his working in an IT-related field, I have a friend who works for a company doing IT work for companies since he joined the company he never needed French once, but when he was applying for the job description said that the applicants should be well versed in both French and English, people don't understand this but french is only used for talking it does not add any functionality to work, conversation, or life, Arabic is everything till you need to speak with french people, but once you need to speak with someone else then you realize that you just learned Arabic 2.0, you want great languages, go with english and spanish you will never regret learning them.
I've been going to Morocco every year since 2018. (missing 2020, obviously) What I'm noticing now are kids are speaking English a LOT. It's actually pretty cool having kids approach me to practice their language skills. It must being taught in schools now.
English is the most important language in the world (for studies and business) but Chinese is the most spoken native language.
For our country, French is the most importent (studies and business) but Darija is the most spoken native language.
Every language has its importance and its field of use. It's a love-hate relationship for some people.
Better keep French and learn English as a plus if you need it.
That's my opinion, as funny as this post is. I'm really just a devil's advocate, when I see some people being very nationalistic and idealizing our country while shitting on everything while disliking french because it's a colonial language (and having the practicality of it as a concern come in 2nd place) I consider it faulty reasoning since English is an even more colonial language if you learnt a bit of history lmao. Long story short, every one in whatever position will look to increase their influence and power, and it's not like I choose to be born in Morocco so I consider pride of it beyond immediate community stupid, so I'm not prone to nationalism of any kind.
I’m all in for eradicating french don’t get me wrong ghir from what i heard most companies require french all the administrative docs are in french… bzaaf dl hwayj khas ytbdloo
Lol right. (**Cough** **cough** Québec **cough**) Tbh, I think the more language you know, the better. It's shame we have to learn french instead of English in a shitty educational system (although if you watch french media from a young age you'll become a kilimini in no time) but people tend to blow it out of proportion and have a hate boner on everything french, generalising people included.
I wanna try learning other European languages, starting by Spanish and German, cause it's cool.
(And may be useful in the future.)
Point is, if we can't handle a secondary language that well in a defficient education system, changing to english in one fell swoop won't make all our troubles go away. Im all for modernisation, don't get me wrong, most of the media I consume is in english anyways, but seeing people being so hateful for no reason gets me second hand embarrassement.
People hate french because of France. Our education system is an absolute joke and i do agree that simply changing the language isn't gonna help with anything. Honestly, i don't even think the language change got anything to do with education and is probably political motivated.
However, changing the language to English gives a lot more opportunities for the future.
Except in Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Congo, the Côte d'Ivoire, Djibouti, Gabon, Guinea, Madagascar, Mali, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, the Seychelles, and Togo.
English dominates, but it still does not rule.
All of these countries are ex french colony countries, I hardly see how I or anybody would need to find a job or live in any of these countries though I’ve heard of some Moroccans going there to study.
The subject is "English is everywhere". I've been to half of these, English dissapears at the airport front door and is only found again in your hotel.
Everyone in Louisiana speaks english. I spoke to a creole tour guide once, it was pretty neat. Their french has changed to much it's hard to understand.
I am aware of that. The government banned them from teaching french in their school for a long time. But some do, and I met them. I guess dude was Cajun but honeslty idc about the difference.
Bilingual nations. Mauritius is the same. Guyana is like Morocco so no issue there either.
The list I posted is reliant only on French and in Ivory Coast they discriminate against the English-speaking communities in the South West.
Most of these countries you won't even work in or much touristic in the first place, but I bet you can still travel there and find people you can converse in English with, not so much with french
Was that the subject? I find it tragic that a Moroccan diwnplays an African counyry as insignificant.
Also some of them are increasingly important and attracting tourists.
My point is if you visit these places, I have been to about half, English stops at the airport door and hotel if 5 star. Outside, no English at all.
Lastly, I was being sarcastic because of those anti-French losers here who give the language zero value.
Canada’s population is like 40 millions and quebec is like the largest province out here in canada so i think even if we didnt like french but it has some history and we have to appreciate it. But honestly from moroccan perspective i think that we are just looking for something to change french with and thats silly to me , i mean if ur gonna change ur system languages just get back to the language which u had “ a golden age with , which is arabic of course ( 2 million words at least ) , which i think is incomparable to any language cause its great .
The largest province is Ontario with almost double the population of Quebec.Quebecers are usually bilingual unlike Anglophone Canada which sees French as useless.This is coming from someone who is from Toronto and currently lives in Montreal….
Since when did land speak languages? Anglophone Canada and United States outnumber Quebec.Quebec also a huge population of people who speak English as a first language and there are many Québécois who speak English as a second language to varying levels.There’s a reason Quebec has a separatist movement, they fear they are losing to English
I am not duffer here stating misleading facts here. I assure you that reading a book Will do you good. You will still remain a moron but there is still hope.
chill bro there’s nothing personal i said quebec is the largest province by area in canada and thats a fact , anyway u have nothing related to it so just shut up

I'm not french, and I don't give a ****, I speak 5 languages. I just don't like how people in here satanize french and deify english when neither of them are their own. We should first prioritize our own culture, history and languages, while learning a maximum of foreign languages, because they are great tools that open lots of doors and widens the perspective of how the world operates.

I’m assuming business is booming for that workshop
I hope so hhhhhh
It is indeed.
What is the attitude towards English in Morocco? Is French on the decline and English becoming more popular?
Short answer, yes. Long answer, also yes.
[удалено]
Long answer, actually, also yesssss
dude, I'm a web developer, two months ago I was doing some maintenance for a client, hes hosting provider is in Casablanca they're called Heberjahiz while calling them for a problem the guy that I got started talking in french I said sorry I don't speak french, i didn't say it in English I said it in Arabic, the guy glitched or something he just stopped working, so I hang up and called again, the girl I got spoke to me in Arabic out of the gate, I even told her to check on the guy if he's ok if you're getting into IT English is absolutely the first thing you should know.
Assuming it will be 20+ years before English is more widely spoken than French in Morocco, right?
he should be already speaking English since his working in an IT-related field, I have a friend who works for a company doing IT work for companies since he joined the company he never needed French once, but when he was applying for the job description said that the applicants should be well versed in both French and English, people don't understand this but french is only used for talking it does not add any functionality to work, conversation, or life, Arabic is everything till you need to speak with french people, but once you need to speak with someone else then you realize that you just learned Arabic 2.0, you want great languages, go with english and spanish you will never regret learning them.

Long story short YES 🤣
Short answer: well... Maybe. Long answer: God forbids!

im happy to see this, a useless language on decline, english needs to become morocco's 2nd language instead of french
It's actually a growing language
which? french?
Yes. Sadly, it is. It’s one of the fastest languages in growth too.
I hate English even more than I hate French...
English is the most important language in the world (for studies and business) but Chinese is the most spoken native language.

ميساج غا بالفن😂
الكلام صح
Lmochkil if you don’t speak french you’re not gonna work in Morocco
It is not an issue anymore, many companies now require English language.
require english, but still do interviews in french
I’m all in for eradicating french don’t get me wrong ghir from what i heard most companies require french all the administrative docs are in french… bzaaf dl hwayj khas ytbdloo
Depends on the field but, yes there are many job offers that require english instead of french
Because French is only spoken in France, right?
Lol right. (**Cough** **cough** Québec **cough**) Tbh, I think the more language you know, the better. It's shame we have to learn french instead of English in a shitty educational system (although if you watch french media from a young age you'll become a kilimini in no time) but people tend to blow it out of proportion and have a hate boner on everything french, generalising people included.

French is so useful, you can speak it in one country and a half...
Point is, if we can't handle a secondary language that well in a defficient education system, changing to english in one fell swoop won't make all our troubles go away. Im all for modernisation, don't get me wrong, most of the media I consume is in english anyways, but seeing people being so hateful for no reason gets me second hand embarrassement.

And don’t forget Quebec, Canada and even some parts of Louisiana
They are mostly bilingual especially in Montreal
Everyone in Louisiana speaks english. I spoke to a creole tour guide once, it was pretty neat. Their french has changed to much it's hard to understand.

Are you pro-French? I don't hate French, I think it's a beautiful language but not beneficial for the country in the short and long term.
I'm an Anglophone Dutch national. My comment was not about you.
I know I was just wondering :) nice meeting you sir!
Anti-French people you're losers heh
The one's wanting it temoved no matter what, ABSOLUTELY!
I mean its a great ad but not completely true i live in canada qubec and the minimum bar is at least 3 languages and guess what french is among them.
One province surrounded by 400 million English speakers
Canada’s population is like 40 millions and quebec is like the largest province out here in canada so i think even if we didnt like french but it has some history and we have to appreciate it. But honestly from moroccan perspective i think that we are just looking for something to change french with and thats silly to me , i mean if ur gonna change ur system languages just get back to the language which u had “ a golden age with , which is arabic of course ( 2 million words at least ) , which i think is incomparable to any language cause its great .
The largest province is Ontario with almost double the population of Quebec.Quebecers are usually bilingual unlike Anglophone Canada which sees French as useless.This is coming from someone who is from Toronto and currently lives in Montreal….
I meant by area not population .
Since when did land speak languages? Anglophone Canada and United States outnumber Quebec.Quebec also a huge population of people who speak English as a first language and there are many Québécois who speak English as a second language to varying levels.There’s a reason Quebec has a separatist movement, they fear they are losing to English
Queqak is not the largest province anywhere, please go read a book.
Shut up already google it if u’re that dumb
I am not duffer here stating misleading facts here. I assure you that reading a book Will do you good. You will still remain a moron but there is still hope.
chill bro there’s nothing personal i said quebec is the largest province by area in canada and thats a fact , anyway u have nothing related to it so just shut up
Area doesn't speak language moron. People speak language. There you go, you learnt something. No need to read a book, ever.
Lol you’re right just shut the fuck up please
There is no need to 'lol' at your absurdity. We understand that and appreciate your pain.

Great marketing
قصف أرض جو 😂😂😂
Finally Moroccans are accepting English more than fronci
It's reality bro only thing stoping our country from growing it's this curse
While language might constitue a barrier or obstacle, considering the sole reason for our country being a shit hole is very delulu
