This project started as a language learning experiment. Matthew Helmke was sitting in a cafe with a Moroccan having a discussion in Moroccan Arabic. The friend told a joke and it was speedily encountered that vocabulary alone would not insure an understanding of humor. This prompted a question, “What did I miss?” In this book, Matthew Helmke explores the concealed distinct features of Moroccan culture. These are the things that Moroccans recognise inherently, without being taught. The result is an intriguing look through the eyes of an American attempting to make sense of Moroccan culture.

5Informative and Entertaining

This book is great. It has a heap of outstanding stories showing a culture that is unfamiliar to most “Western” nations.

Even if one never intends to travel, it is worth reading just to get a taste of a dissimilar culture.

5A great read with tons of information
By Ryan Burbank
I read this book in preparation of coming to Morocco. This book has helped me in more ways than I may count. Besides having utile information, it’s likewise a fun book to read because the jokes are genuinely rather amusive after you perceive the culture (or at least that part of the culture.) If you’re thinking with regards to getting this book, or unsure if you should, just get it. I promise you won’t be let down.

5Great little book to pass some time
By Jason Dragon
First off I recognise not one thing in regards to Morocco, I have never been there, but I read this book and it was hard to put it down. It had a good deal of little stories and galore great jokes, but the key to this book is that you get to learn how humans think and how the fundamental principle of humor works in any place in the world. If you are a comic I would suggest this book because you will learn the importance of situations and saying the rectify things to your audience. I am likewise an American living in a third world country, and it helps with the culture shock.
