One of the most enjoyable parts of Peace Corps thus far has been impressing street vendors and taxi drivers with our Tashelheit and Arabic. I don't personally speak Tash, but other PCVs do. Being foreigners, most Moroccans expect us to speak French, are not surprised if we speak English, but are pleasantly and happily amazed when we break out our Tash. Afoulki? Yes. Way to go, Peace Corps!
We need to catch-up in full detail... but, it is a rush isn't it? Now you see the appeal of foreign language! ;) Good luck!
