There don't seem to be many resources for learning dialects geared to those that already know Fusha. I was directed to, via Arabic-L, a series by Margaret Nydell called "From MSA to X Dialect" and there is one for Moroccan, including audio. They have proved to be a good resource for me so far. They are not generally published however and you have to contact DLS Press (Diplomatic Language Services) in Arlington, VA for a custom copy (which is not cheap). I hope this helps.</span><br style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">
