“Tarifit online zu lernen, war bisher eigentlich kaum möglich. Meistens konnte man die Sprache nur lernen, indem man direkt mit jemandem gesprochen hat. Deshalb ist die App wirklich ein Glücksfall für alle, die ihr Tarifit verbessern oder die Sprache sogar von Grund auf lernen möchten. Besten Dank an den Entwickler für diese tolle App, ma sha Allah :)”

“Learning Tarifit online used to be almost impossible. Usually you could only learn the language by speaking with someone directly. That's why this app is a real stroke of luck for anyone who wants to improve their Tarifit or even learn it from scratch. Many thanks to the developer for this great app, ma sha Allah :)”

What people ask first.

What should I look for in a Tarifit app?

Real grammar instead of just vocabulary, audio from an actual native speaker, the Tifinagh script, and review that brings back the lessons you haven't mastered yet and the ones you haven't practised in a while. Awar n Arif is built around exactly that: a structured, grammar-based course, not a vocabulary trainer, with real recordings, smart review and a growing dictionary. Free to download, on iPhone and Android.

Is the app free?

Yes, the download and the basic version are free, and they already include a lot: the full dictionary (almost all with a real recording) and all 38 tables, over 1,300 words and word forms in total. Plus all 47 grammar cards, the first 22 lessons, 15 minutes of translation help every day, the souk calculator and much more. The basic version is funded by ads. If you want more, add Premium.

What does Premium include, and what does it cost?

Premium unlocks all lessons (currently 162), all conversations with Ziri and translation help without a time limit, and is ad-free. The App Store or Google Play shows you the price in your country. The subscription runs through your store, renews automatically and can be cancelled at any time, effective at the end of the current period. Premium is also available as a one-time purchase: no subscription, no renewal, for the lifetime of the app, including all new Tarifit lessons as well as extensions and updates of these benefits.

My family speaks a different Rif variety. Does it work for me?

Yes. Everything is recorded by a native speaker, and the grammar and most words carry over across Rif varieties. Where words differ, the community page helps close the gap.

Can you really learn to speak Tarifit with an app?

You won't be fluent from an app alone, and nobody can honestly promise that. What this gives you: real grammar instead of just phrases, your own voice recorded next to a native speaker's so you can hear the difference, and enough structure to actually hold a conversation with family instead of just recognising a few words.

What is Tarifit?

Tarifit (Rifisch, Riffian Berber) is the Amazigh language of the Rif region in the north of the Kingdom of Morocco. It is spoken rather than written and passed down mostly at home. That's exactly why a course built by an actual native speaker, not a generic phrasebook, matters here.

Is this the official Awar n Arif app?

Yes, and it's the only one. On the App Store it has the ID 6803626848, on Google Play the package name com.awar.tarifit. The two buttons on this page lead there. Another app, website or profile using the name isn't ours. A short note to support helps us get it taken down.

This is the only real app: App Store ID 6803626848 · Google Play com.awar.tarifit. If you see another “Awar n Arif”, it's not from us. Please let us know.
