Student comments
Martine: "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"
Valérie: "Thank you very much, to Ali, Ismael and Naïma. A fantastic team. Recommend it for sure. Very attentive."
Andreas: "We discussed too much stuff in too short a time."
Jingjie: "Overall, we are very satisfied. Our Arabic has been greatly improved, and the cultural activities were fun."

What students liked about Dar Loughat - Cross-Cultural Language Center, Tetouan
Hansjörg53 years
“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.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss: The list goes on .... but I'd say get lost in the old medina, drink at least one fresh juice per day, obviously a mint tea, eat a tagine, try all types of breads, pancakes, fresh goat jben on its palm leaf, bathe in the waters of the beach Kabila, a trip to Zarka, talk to people, trees, and cats etc ...
Other comments: From the arrival at the airport til the departure from the airport, everybody was available and listening. The teachers are wonderful, lively, passionate and also patient :)

Other comments: 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.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss: In any event, future students I recommend to use the activities of the school because for the most part they are very good. And to get lost a few times in the Medina to know one's way around best in the end. ;)
Other comments: The school is centrally located in the new town and due to the helpfulness of the staff it is not difficult to settle in Tetuan and to get around.
