Additional information

Positive aspects of school

I had private lessons with Ismail, a really friendly and flexible teacher who adapted exactly to my needs. The location of the school is very central and the classrooms adequate.

Negative aspects

Some of the course materials were faulty and poor copies. However, because I had my own documents with me, this was not so relevant for me. It was sometimes a bit noisy because the classroom doors were open or the noise came from the street when the windows were open. The digital equipment (projector or decent speakers for listening comprehension tasks) could be improved. Tétouan is probably a bit more expensive in summer due to the many tourists, especially from Spain, so the food prices were like in Europe. Instead, we explored the beautiful beaches and places in the area (Chefchaouen, Mdiq, Septa, Capo Negro, Belyounch, Fnideq, Tangier, Martil) with a rental car.

Quality of teaching / language progress

Super teacher with whom I will stay in contact in the future and book further online courses with him.

Positive aspects of school

I learned so many new things in a very short time and, thanks to the motivation of the teacher and the other students, I finally dared to apply what I had learned. The school welcomed me so warmly that I felt at home from day one. The activities in the afternoon were informative, fun and experiences for life. I learned a lot about the language, the country and myself and would recommend the school to anyone who wants an adventure and a trip that will teach you a lot for life. The teachers made it easy to arrive and learn. All in all, it was a wonderful time!

Other comments

It was nice to meet and get to know so many different, exciting characters. It is a place of knowledge and gathering of interesting people. A wonderful place to learn and discover new things. But also a very interestingly designed class with lots of laughter.

City/place

Beautiful city with warm people, great history, delicious food and unique sights.

Dar Lughat is the best place in the world! Director Zeid, assistant Aladdin, teachers - all open and good people. Here I not only improved my knowledge, but also made many new friends. Special thanks to the driver and assistant Aladdin, who became my best friend and took care of me. I advise everyone to study at Dar Lughat School in the best city in the world, Tetuan!!!

Negative aspects

Everything is perfect!

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

If you choose Standard Arabic course, be prepared that people do not speak it in Morocco. Here they mainly use the local dialect of Darij, not everyone understands standard Arabic.

Other comments

The best school in the world!

City/place

Tetuan is very beautiful. Here is the sea, mountains and palm trees. The stunning beaches of Martil and Mdik are very close. People are friendly, always helpful. I would definitely recommend it!!

Quality of teaching / language progress

The school uses a very effective methodology, thanks to which you can learn a lot in the class, even homework is not needed.

Accommodation

The house is located in Medina, the old town. If you immediately remember the road, then you can easily and quickly walk to school in a couple of minutes. For me, as a young girl, it was very safe there.

Hello, I had a very pleasant stay in Tetouan, I am very satisfied with the working conditions within the school and the teaching of my teacher (Ismael) which allowed me to progress well, a stay of one week is a little short to participate in activities, I preferred to visit the region because there were no proposals for excursions

Positive aspects of school

I really liked everything. Everyone is very friendly and helpful ... all the time. The side offers (included in the price), such as excursions and conversation are interesting and also updated regularly, so I was really curious to see what would be offered the coming week. The option to use computers and copiers at no extra cost was something I did not know from other schools. I will definitely go there again. And also: great location of the school right in the city center.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

If you like the beach, you could opt for an accommodation directly in Martil. By group taxi, it's only more 10 minutes and it doesn't cost much more (either way, 5 dhr). In low season, there are are well-priced options (also via airbnb).

Other comments

During the long journey from my accommodation I always had some difficulties during the "dip at lunchtime" - when you cannot get home and you get tired. Even for that it was possible to lay down on the floor of a classroom with a blanket. That says a lot about the school.

Personal work after school is essential for progress! A working room within the school would be good for it! To avoid in summer, too crowded !!! Moving was difficult (the throne party, with road closures and many police, army because of the coming of the King) and especially difficult to concentrate on the essay

The only disadvantage of Tetouan Apartments and school: it is very very noisy by the road and due to the central location. Not recommendable for people sensitive to noise. On the other hand the central location allows single women to move around in the center and to get home alone during night as well.
