Dar Loughat is a professional language center in Morocco providing intensive in-class courses and flexible online courses in all levels of Modern Standard Arabic and Colloquial Moroccan Arabic throughout the year. Founded in 2004 in the heart of the city of Tetouan in northern Morocco, Dar Loughat has rapidly established a strong and well-respected reputation as a cross-cultural center in the Arab world. The city of Tetouan, declared a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, stands out for its strategic location, as it is less than sixty kilometers from Algeciras in Spain to the north and sixty kilometers east of Tangier. The small size of the city allows students to easily become integrated and immersed into the local culture, which is famous for its legendary generosity and tolerance. The flexibility of the starting dates and the program length allows students to attend Arabic classes anytime throughout the year, from just one week to a complete academic year. Through its various online services, Dar Loughat provides even more flexibility and some unique opportunities to students who need a quality self-paced education.

Learn French, Classic Arabic, or Darija (Western North African dialectal Arabic) in Tangier! All classes are one-to-one with an experienced language teacher who can tailor her teaching to your needs and skill level. If you are two to three students with a similar level, you can also attend the lessons as a small group. There is flexibility in the number of hours you can take per week (5-20 hours/week), so you can do this part-time (while doing volunteer work or an internship that we can also arrange) or intensively. You will also get some homework, so we do not recommend more than 20 hours of tuition per week (Monday to Saturday). Our rates are very competitive. The costs for French language lessons and living expenses in Morocco are significantly lower than in France, making it a fun and interesting travel destination to explore.
