6. Bienvenue au Maroc

Welcome to Morocco

This section looks at Morocco, where we see children who speak Arabic and French - and often a Berber language as well. Berbers are the people who lived in Morocco before the arrival of the Arabs.

Part A shows some of the diversity of Morocco, looking at three contrasting areas: the capital city, Rabat; the town of Khémisset and the rural village Aït Ouahi. We find out how to say your nationality and languages spoken, and we look at Moroccan schools in the town and countryside.

Part B looks at the home-life of two families: one rural, one in the city.

Part C contrasts how people shop in the big city with everyday purchases in a rural area.
