Netherlands: More Moroccans speak Dutch at home
Moroccan families are speaking more and better Dutch. In particular, Moroccan mothers who have kids in school speak the language increasingly fluently.
Studies until now have shown that the first generation Dutch Turks and Moroccans have many problems with the Dutch language. But even in these groups there's improvement. In 1996 all parents of school-age kids spoke Turkish or Moroccan at home. Among Turkish parents this percentage barely deceased, but among Moroccan parents, 20% now speak Dutch at home.
