Intensive and personalized courses in Standard Arabic and Darija in Marrakech
Lessane Arabi Centre is an establishment specialized in teaching Arabic based in Marrakech, Morocco. We offer intensive courses in standard Arabic ( al-Fusha) as well as online Arabic courses and courses in the Moroccan dialect (darija). Our program is tailored to your needs and study plans, which we put first by offering personalized or group Darija courses.
Standard Arabic, al-Fusha, is very useful for understanding the Holy Koran and the media in Arab countries where al-Fusha is the official language. Whether you want to learn Arabic in Morocco, how to speak Arabic quickly or understand the Koran, our teachers will be there to guide you and make things easier and more pleasant on your way to learning Arabic.
Arabic for beginners
The majority of our students start with little or no knowledge of the language. Our aim is to provide a good level of reading, writing and communication skills for everyday life in the shortest possible time, so that learning Arabic for beginners is a piece of cake!
For those with an advanced level, our qualified teachers will help you achieve a high level of knowledge and linguistic analysis. On arrival, we assess your level of Arabic to select the most appropriate course for you. Our teachers are flexible and can adapt the program to your needs.
If you’d like to concentrate on translating texts, the courses will be focused on this type of exercise. And if you’d like to discover Moroccan culture and interact with the locals, then conversation will be more involved.

Is Arabic hard to learn?
Arabic is often considered one of the most difficult languages for non-Arabic speakers to learn. However, while learning Arabic has its challenges, such as learning a different alphabet with different spellings, there are many features that are arguably simpler than many European languages. At the Lessane Arabi Center, our experienced teachers ensure that learning Arabic is achievable and accessible to everyone.
What kind of Arabic do we teach?
At the Lessane Arabi Center, we teach Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Darija (the local Moroccan dialect).
How long does it take to learn Arabic?
As with all language learning, each student progresses at a different pace, depending on their previous experience, the intensity of their lessons, and how often they practice outside class hours.
What's the difference between Darija (Moroccan Arabic) and MSA (standard Arabic)?
Darija is the language Moroccans use on a daily basis, and is a variant of Arabic containing words from other languages. Standard Arabic, on the other hand, is used for formal written communication, news broadcasts and newspapers. Although they have much in common in terms of vocabulary and grammatical structures. There are also differences in grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. Darija borrows words from Amazigh, French and Spanish. It is specific to Moroccans, and may not be understood by other Arabic speakers.
Can I learn MSA and Darija at the same time?
We offer the possibility of learning Darija at the same time as Standard Arabic through two separate courses. It is important that students approach Darija and MSA as two distinct languages to avoid any confusion or misinterpretation of either language.

The staff here is amazing first of all. Everyone is so kind, attentive and sincere. It's clear to me that the teachers really want me to learn the language.
If you're in Morocco, I'd recommend going to Lessane to learn Arabic. The price and what you get in return is incredible.
Thank you so much Salim and Fatima and Zineb!
Until the next time!
