Question about Arabic
I got a Moroccan Arabic textbook and it consists of lots parts for example grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. How different is this dialect from the 'official arabic' or the one that is spoken in Saudi Arabia for example?

Each dialect has its own common and uncommon things with the "official Arabic" and mostly they don't use the official one but understand it.
To the eastern Arabs in general Moroccan dialect seems a little bit hard and not easy to understand.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Arabic
in addition to what mentioned by @lavash, for my knowledge one of the basic differences between standard arabic and the dialects; that dialects are not restricted by the grammar.

the arabic which is spoken in saudi arabia is different than 'official arabic' and differnet of moroccan arabic
by the way, official arabic = MSA ( modern standard arabic) = اللغة العربية الفصحى

Thank you for the answers.
This part is about the conjugation of 'to write' in past simple. Unfortunately it is not written with arabic letters.
Is it any different from the MSA?

Of course you can use modern standard arabic in every arab country and they would understand you but each coutry has it's own "version" of arab and it depends on the cpuntries history and where it's located, for morocco the language is a mixture of modern standard arab, Berber , french and spanish, so it's a very difficult language .

yes there is a difference in the pronunciation, in MSA it will be as follows;
كتبتُ
كتبتَ
كتبتِ
كتبَ
كَتَبتْ
كتبنا
كتبوا
كتبن
(كَتَبْتُ. كَتَبْتَ. كَتَبْتِ. كَتَبَ. كَتَبَتْ. كَتَبْنَا. كَتَبُوا. كَتَبَنٍّ)
respectively as written in the picture
