Weather you argue from a political, from an economical or from a touristic point of view, there will be no way around this poetic language. In fact, with its 293 mill native speakers – mostly concentrated in the middle-east and North Africa – Arabic is not only the 5th most important language in the world, but also among the official languages of multiple international organizations, such as the Arab League and the UN.
Let the European Language Center take you on a project you will not forget! You have the possibility to learn or improve your Arabic by either doing a language class, a volunteering program or a combination of both in Morocco.
Language Classes:
All language classes are given by domestic native speakers in small groups. Depending on the period you wish to attend a language class in Morocco, you might even be taught individually – at no extra costs.

A typical week as a volunteer:
First Day: On the first day of your volunteering placement, you will be escorted to the project by either a member of your home stay family orMCAS and introduced to the staff at the project you will be working with.
Weekdays: While our programs are flexible and can be fitted to your requirements, a typical day is as follows;
9.00AM – Breakfast with the host family.
10.00AM – Volunteer leaves home and travels to the project. Volunteers are given a duty roster and a day plan by the project staff. There is usually a tea break and lunch break with the host family. Work hours vary and are dependent on the project.
2.00PM-5.00PM – End of your work day. Volunteers are free to visit local sites or go shopping.
EVENING – Dinner with the host family.
NB: Volunteers taking Arabic or French language courses volunteer for half the day and spend the other half of the day taking language lessons.
Weekends: During the weekend, volunteers have spare time and usually just relax or take the opportunity to explore other parts of Rabat and Morocco. Long weekends can be taken to travel further afield to destinations, such as Marrakech, Merzouga (Dunes), Tinghir (Ksabah), Fes, Meknes (imperial cities), Volubilis (Roman), Tanger, and south of Europe (Gibraltar, Andalusia, Portugal, south of Spain).
