Finally speak your family's language. Kabyle, Algerian or Moroccan Darija, Riffian, Chaoui, Tachelhit, Tunisian, Wolof, Creole... Dialect helps you learn the language of your parents and grandparents, one word at a time, a few minutes a day. Do you know how to say "I love you" to your grandmother in her language?
