French is spoken widely in Morocco, especially south of Ksar el Kebir. The south was the French Protectorate until1950s, the north was ruled by Spain.
It is the language of the bureaucracy, i.e. government departments, banks, insurance companies, tourist information bureaus. It is taught in schools from primary level onwards. Even some kindergartens specialise in French tuition.
Moroccans speak excellent French with good grammar, accents, intonation and a wide vocabulary. There is no problem about understanding either, even if you speak pooor French.
It's their second language so yes... most of the time. SOME Moroccans are not fluent in French. My MIL know some words but was not taught French in school. Her parents opted to send her to a private school because they were against the French ruling their country.
