Would you like to learn Riffian in Eindhoven? Discover the language of the Rif region with Kulin’s Riffian (Tarifit) for Beginners A1 course. This accessible language course is designed for anyone taking their first steps in understanding and speaking Tarifit, whether to communicate with relatives, explore their heritage or connect with new people.
Across 12 classroom lessons of 90 minutes over 6 weeks, you will learn useful words and expressions for familiar situations.
