I had this same problem a few years ago for both Gulf Arabic and then
Tunisian Arabic.  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.

Margaret K. Nydell has a course for Moroccan and Algerian dialects that is
aimed at MSA speakers. It is called "From Modern Standard Arabic to the
Maghrebi Dialects", and it is available (or at least it was as of a few
years ago) from DLS press in Arlington, Virginia.

The book optionally comes with tapes, and the sample sentences and
vocabulary are written in both Arabic and Roman script, with translations.

Dear Abu Sammy, dear Paul,

It has been ages since we last met. The days of ITISALAT seem so far
behind, which they are indeed.

My (Dutch) textbook of Moroccan Arabic is being translated into English,
however it was written for all learners, i.e. without any prior knowledge
of any variety of Arabic.
It will take at least another 6 months to finish the translation I expect.

However, I can send you some samples to give you an impression.

Best wishes from Rabat, al mamlaka al maghribiyya

Jan (Abu Samir ;-)

Paul,
There are numerous sources for Moroccan Arabic teaching/learning. If you
are looking for recent publications, here is one that came out last year
from Georgetown U. Press, authored by Abdellah Chekayri (Al-Akhawayn
University in Morocco). .

Other sources ( for ex.. Peace Corps textbook) can be found within the
