Hi, I learned about the cultural and political struggle of the Amazigh peoples in the early 2010's. It's so heartwarming to finally see people teaching it in English, this way it will help make the languagte more accessible to non Arabic speakers worldwide. I hope more and more activists produce such quality material about the other aspects of the culture in English too. I remember once an activist making a video about the ancient pagan Amazigh Gods and mythological (magical) beings but it was in French. However, fortunately, there are good pages in English abou the ancient Amazigh deities.
Tanmirt! Greetings from Brazil😇

Assalam alaykum, I am a Belgian woman who converted to Islam many years ago. I had a lot of contacts with Berber neighbours, and I wanted to learn their language. They always asked my why (I used to talk to teenagers my age), they said Berber is such a useless language. They weren't proud of their own language at all. Since none of them wanted to teach me, I decided to follow them around with pen and paper. Every time I heard a clear word in their conversation, I'd ask them for the meaning and write it down. I remember 'mush' is cat, 'trinket' is slipper I believe, 'agrum' is bread, and 'yazid' is chicken. I searched in bookstores at that time, but there was just nothing to find about it at that time. Years later I married, moved several times, and I am no longer seeing those neighbours except on special occasions. My map with Berber words has got lost at one of our house movings.😢
So here I am, 40 years now, never been able to learn Tmazight, but always been interested. I want to thank you for teaching it on Youtube❤ such a wonderful idea mashaAllah!
Just one question: my Berber friends used to tell me that there are several Berber dialects in Morocco, they spoke the Riffiyya. Which dialect are you teaching? And are those different forms of dialect mutually understandable?
