Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is the language used throughout the Arab world for specialized functions, including classroom instruction, the electronic and printed media, and formal situations.

If there are less than 3 students in a class, lesson hours will be reduced as follows:
Class of 2 students: 15 hours per week.
Class of 1 student: 10 hours per week.

MSA courses consist of six levels of studies; each level is divided into three successive and progressive sublevels.

Special note for 2023 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2023 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2022 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2023 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

Student comments about Modern Standard Arabic Course

elizaveta 5.0

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

Martine 5.0

"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"

Student opinions about Dar Loughat - Cross-Cultural Language Center, Tetouan

Hansjörg

53 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).

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!!!”

“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.

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: 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

Questions and answers about Dar Loughat - Cross-Cultural Language Center

• Do I need a visa to come to Morocco?
  “Most countries are exempted from the visa formality. See list online. If your country is on the list, you will get a "visa waiver" when you enter Morocco. This is nothing more than a stamp in your passport as you pass customs. There is no cost involved. The visa waiver allows you to stay in Morocco as a visitor for 90 days. For those staying over that period, a stay extension will be required. Please, note that your passport must be valid until at least the day you leave Morocco.”
