MSA

Also called Fusha, essential for anyone interested in studying, living, and working in the Middle East and North Africa. Modern Arabic is the official language of all 26 Arab countries and one of the six official languages of U.N. Learning Arabic is essential for those who are willing to live in an Arab country or work in a field in a relation with the Arab world. This student centered course aims to develop all areas of the language: speaking, listening, reading and writing and the educational support used by our teachers is Al-Kitaab fii Ta’allum al-‘Arabiyya

CMA

Also called Darija, is the vernacular language in Morocco, people use it to communicate in their daily life. Despite not having the status of an official language, Darija is more and more used even in media. It has a deep resemblance with Arabic, however due to the geographic position of Morocco, history and movement of people, Darija has strong influences from Berber, French, Spanish and other European languages. We recommend students who intend to stay in Morocco for a long period of time learn it if they want to integrate into society and immerse themselves in the Moroccan culture.

ARABIC FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES

Arabic for Specific Purposes (ASP) classes are ideal for Intermediate- High through Advanced learners who would like to further develop their skills and proficiency to an advanced level & who have a specific purpose to learn Arabic in any field. With ASP courses, students can choose an area of specialization specific to their language goals. ASP courses are geared towards language mastery and maintenance. These courses are typically offered as private courses, and students can choose one or more of the following courses: Quranic Arabic, Media Arabic, Arabic literature, Classical, Business or Diplomatic Arabic.
