Marrakech

Dates: year-round

Description: Our Marrakesh location offers both Classical and Moroccan Arabic year-round. Our brand new building provides comfortable classrooms, a computer lab with free internet access as well as the opportunity for interaction with local Moroccans who study English.

Students can choose between Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) or Colloquial Moroccan Arabic (CMA). Our program caters to all language levels. The standard program is three hours a day/15 hours per week. For more intensive hours, please contact us. All of our instructors are university degree in the teaching of MSA and CMA Arabic.

Having trouble deciding between MSA and CMA? Visit our blog under "Advice for Living and Working in Morocco".

After spending three hours each morning studying Arabic, you will have plenty of time to explore Marrakesh and beyond. Our program also includes spending several afternoons per week participating in many cultural activities such as Moroccan cooking lessons, hiking, sightseeing in and around Marrakesh and the beautiful High Atlas Mountains as well as an education of various cultural and historical points about Morocco.

These activities are conducted in both Arabic and English. There may be an additional fee for full days or weekend excursions which would include transport, meals, entrance fees and/or accommodation.

While taking our lessons, you will have the option to stay with a homestay family which is highly recommended or in a private apartment. Living with a host family is the most effective way to fully immerse oneself within the language and culture. All families are screened and interviewed by our staff. There is also the possibility of renting a furnished apartment for a minimum of a month; please contact us directly for rates.

We offer our lessons year round starting every Monday. To insure progress, students must register for a minimum of two weeks of lessons. If you would like to take French lessons, the same fees and hours apply. For fees, please visit the Fees page on our site.
