  • !السؤال الذى حيّرالجميع

It does not mean that the level of "purity" of other arabic languages make them more accessible. I think that most Arabic dialects (even the most "popular" ones) are heavily influenced by other languages. 

What makes the difference is their wider reach through cinema, songs ... For very long (a bit way too long) we haven't been outgoing enough with darija. We just assumed it is hard to understand and we adapted it or spoke another dialect all together. 

I think it is about time that we proudly share the beauty of Darija with the rest of the Arab speaking world. Our language is an expression of our culture, our history and our "mindset", so Goulha Bdarija

  • FOLKTALE TIME, 

Today's folktale could be summed up in two Moroccan Proverbs: 
1. يد وحدة مكتسفقش (One hand cannot clap)
2. جواج ليلة تدبيرو عام (A one night wedding is a year of planning). 

This a story of partnership, finding the right one and what it means to find the right one. 
This is a Moroccan folktale, similar versions might exist in other cultures but what I  have also learned from it (and the hundreds of other tales I have read) is that the idea of marriage as being a "partnership" is not new. I even think it was even more the case before than it is today. 

Read the folktale on my website: 

https://www.kanzyana.com/stories/stronger-together-2/

Or click the Link in my Bio and then Friday Folktale

  • Let's say it in Darija, kids!
#goulhabdarija

There is a certain enchantment in learning words from another language and using them. When you are emotionally connected to the language, there is an even bigger joy. 

The children's books in Darija and English by @kanzyana_1  do not only offer engaging stories but also a way to help young learners connect with the language, the heritage and the culture, cultivate empathy towards others, and ultimately develop a love and appreciation for their roots. 

The best part is that all of this happens without them even realizing it. 

Just like sneaking vegetables into pasta sauce, cake (remind me to share my Zucchini chocolate cake recipe) or pizza.  Our books incorporate a lot of wonderful things without children noticing (cultural references, historical facts ...) Something only a native can know, understand and pass on. 

My goal is for all of us to have a fantastic time together and enjoy the story, share our memories with our children, have a laugh... The learning aspect is an added bonus, like the toy in the chocolate egg :D 

The idea that, after a few readings, a few books ... children will be able to say expressions, and phrases in Darija fills me with joy. Imagine the pride the child will feel, and the sense of accomplishment you will experience too!

Let's say it in Darija, kids!

  • At the heart of every community lies its roots, firmly planted in the soil of history. 

These roots serve as the foundation upon which we build our lives and navigate the complexities of the modern world. 

They ground us, offering a sense of continuity and a deep connection to our ancestors who have walked the paths before us. 

Through the stories passed down from generation to generation, we learn about the struggles, triumphs, and traditions that have shaped our cultural heritage.

  • * Shared Bonds and Connection. 

It is a web of relationships, whether they are forged through shared experiences, common values, or a sense of belonging. Communities provide a fertile ground for individuals to connect with like-minded people, fostering a sense of camaraderie, empathy, and understanding. 

* Support and Empowerment:

One of the defining characteristics of a community is the support it offers to its members. Whether it's through emotional encouragement, practical assistance, or a lending hand in times of need, communities create a safety net that bolsters individuals during challenging moments. A strong community provides a platform for collaboration, where individuals can tap into collective wisdom, skills, and resources. 

* Shared Values and Purpose:

Communities provide a platform for individuals to come together and pursue collective goals, whether they revolve around social causes, cultural preservation, or personal development. Shared values create a sense of unity and purpose, fueling a collective drive to make a positive impact in the world. Communities serve as catalysts for change, empowering individuals to pool their efforts and work towards a shared vision.

* Belonging and Identity:

Communities nurture a collective identity that allows individuals to find acceptance and validation. They create a sense of home, where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued for who they are. Through this shared sense of belonging, communities provide a foundation for personal growth, self-discovery, and a deep-rooted connection to something greater than oneself.

  • Gratitude blossoms where support thrives. 

I want to extend heartfelt thanks to all who are standing by me on this journey of growth. 

Remember, success isn't accidental; it's the harmonious symphony of countless forces. 

It is very tempting to focus on the negative and those who "refuse" to show support, those who pretend they don't see you... but this time, I have made the conscious choice to do the opposite 😅. 

This is why I want to thank all those who ordered, those who sent me a message, those who shared with other people ... I don't know all of you by name but I can see the countries you have ordered from. 

Chokrane bezzaf! 

As a work in progress, your unwavering support during these stages means the world to us. I understand that it is so much easier to support a "perfect" product but your support holds a profound significance during these transformative stages. It exemplifies the genuine connection we share, where your belief in the potential of kanzyana becomes the bedrock upon which it is built. 

"Perfect" products don't exist and those who get very close to perfection have huge teams behind. 
Kanzyana is a one-woman-show and I am truly privileged to have you as part of my story, and I eagerly anticipate the chapters that lie ahead, knowing that together, we can achieve something great for our community 💙
  • It is Friday, it's the weekend and it is a good time for a Moroccan folktale. 

I don't know what's the "real" name of this folktale but I think this is the best name. 

العود لّلي تحقرو يعميك Literally means: 

“The branch you underestimate will blind you". 

Head to my website to read the full story "Snare & Craftiness" (Link in Bio, under FRIDAY FOLKTALE). 

Up to you to decide if you want to read it/translate it to your children. Let me know if you do. 

The story follows the concept I use for my stories (all listed on Amazon). A story in English that includes: key words, phrases, expressions, proverbs, important concepts in Darija.

  • ✨ Honoring the Unforgettable Bonds ✨

Today is FATHERS DAY in Germany 

On Fathers day my heart fills with an array of emotions, both joyous and bittersweet. 

It is a time when we celebrate the unwavering love, guidance, and strength that our fathers bestow upon us. It's a day that holds immense significance, not only for those blessed with a living father but also for the rest of us whose fathers passed away. 

To all the amazing fathers, both present and absent, your impact is immeasurable. For those who are fortunate to have their fathers by their side, cherish this occasion to express your gratitude, showering them with affection and appreciation.

Let's also pause for a moment to remember and honor the fathers who have left us. For those of us who have lost our heroes, this day can be filled with a blend of nostalgia, longing, and an indescribable void that only they can fill. It's a day that serves as a reminder of the profound impact they made on our lives—their comforting presence, their unwavering support, and the lessons they imparted, etching themselves into the very fabric of our being.

Though they may no longer walk beside us, their spirit remains ever-present, embracing us in the gentlest of whispers and guiding us through life's trials and triumphs. Their love becomes a compass that points us in the direction of courage, strength, and resilience. In their absence, we carry their legacy forward, ensuring that their memory lives on within us, forever woven into the tapestry of our lives. 

Today, we honor not only the fathers who walk beside us but also the fathers who live eternally in our hearts. 

Happy Fathers day to my husband @fiencefiction .  Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers, both near and far. Your immeasurable impact resonates within us, reminding us of the incredible privilege it is to be called your child.
