The rapid advancement of digital technologies has significantly influenced the landscape of language learning, introducing innovative tools and methodologies to enhance educational experiences. Among these developments, the integration of artificial intelligence and chatbot technology in language education offers a unique approach to teaching less commonly taught languages. This paper introduces “DarijaGenie,” an early version of a task-based, multimodal chatbot system designed to facilitate the learning of Moroccan Arabic. Characterized by its spoken nature, non-standard structure, and the scarcity of its resources, Darija presents distinct challenges for learners. DarijaGenie aims to address these challenges by leveraging natural language processing and artificial intelligence to simulate real-life scenarios, providing users with an interactive platform for practical language learning.
