Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)
Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is the written language of Arabic. In its classical form it is the language of the Holy Qur’an. In its everyday use it is the language of newspapers and the media. MSA is a living language used by educated people and intellectuals. The objective of our MSA course is to enable you to read and write at an acceptable academic level so that you can follow current affairs in the Middle East or begin to read classical Arabic literature. Classes are from Monday to Thursday for 3 hours each.
Modern Standard Arabic is ideally suited for students of the Social Sciences considering research anywhere in the Arab world (including North Africa); students of the humanities such as History, Art, Music, Comparative Literature, Linguistics, Philosophy, and Religion; or students of Applied Sciences and Business who may be considering work or research in an Arabic speaking country
Moroccan Colloquial Arabic (MCA)
Moroccan Colloquial Arabic (MCA), or Darija, is the spoken language of all Morocco and the most widely understood Arabic dialect in North Africa, the Middle East and the Gulf. With our communicative approach, and our focus on small classes, students can progress through the levels, accomplish everyday tasks, chat with Moroccans and even exchange opinions on current issues with native speakers. Classes are from Monday to Thursday for 2 hours each.
Moroccan Arabic (also known as Darija) is the variety of Arabic spoken in the Arabic-speaking areas of Morocco, as opposed to the official communications of government and other public bodies which use Modern Standard Arabic, as is the case in most Arabic-speaking countries, while a mixture of French and Moroccan Arabic is used in Business. It is within the Maghrebi Arabic dialect continuum. Native speakers typically consider Moroccan Arabic a dialect because it is not a literary language and because it lacks prestige compared to Standard Arabic (fuṣḥa). It differs from Standard Arabic in phonology, lexicon, and syntax, and has been influenced by Berber (mainly in its pronunciation, and grammar), French and Spanish. Like Arabic colloquials in general, its grammar is simpler than that of Standard Arabic. Moroccan Arabic continues to evolve by integrating new French or English words, notably in technical fields, or by replacing old French and Spanish ones with Standard Arabic words within some circles.
Combined Arabic Course (MCA+MSA)
The course schedules are developed so that a student can combine Moroccan Colloquial Arabic with Modern Standard Arabic regardless of the student’s level. Classes are from Monday to Thursday for 5 hours each.
Combined Modern Standard Arabic with colloquial Moroccan Arabic :(MSA+MCA)
Language of the Qur'an and, in the view of almost all Arabs, is the "pure" Arabic. However, Modern Standard Arabic is a learned language. It is no one's mother tongue. In fact, all Arabs grow up learning the second or colloquial language. Moroccan colloquial dialects are generally only spoken languages. Moroccans use the colloquial language in all their daily interactions, but, when they encounter a language situation calling for greater formality, Modern Standard Arabic is the medium of choice. Standard Arabic is more or less the same throughout the Arab world, while there are wide differences between the various colloquial dialects. In fact, some of the differences are so large that many dialects are mutually unintelligible.
