Hey! 22M from Canada in Rabat for a month. I want to learn Arabic, mainly Fusha grammar and speaking, plus a bit of Darija. I’m a native English speaker, so happy to help you with that in return. We can talk about anything honestly, and could meet for coffee in Rabat or just chat regularly. Lmk!

Hey! 22, in Rabat for a month studying Arabic, I speak English and only a little Darija. Heading to Casa for Jorja Smith on July 11 and would rather not go solo. Anyone down?

Hey! Canadian Pakistani guy, 22M, in Rabat for a month studying Arabic. Been watching the World Cup lately, into basketball, padel (not great lol), art and architecture, cafés, food, and Arab music. Anyone down to catch the Fairuz tribute at Chellah or Jorja Smith in Casa? Also up for coffee in Agdal. Looking to improve my Fusha or even my Darija if someone wants to improve there English as well!

Assalamu alaykum,

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find Quran classes I’m in Rabat for couple weeks but my only problem is my French is terrible and I only speak English and I’m looking for someone who is comfortable to teach in English

Merci!

Hey everyone,
Canadian guy planning my first longer solo trip, 1 to 2 months in Morocco this summer. The main goal is studying Arabic (MSA) and Quran in Rabat, but I’d love some honest input from anyone who’s done a long solo stay there or somewhere similar.
Picked Morocco over Egypt mostly because it seems safer and fits my budget. Going with Rabat since it sounds calmer than Marrakech or Fez for actually living somewhere short term.
Stuff I’m curious about:
• What was solo life like day to day? Easy to meet people or pretty isolating?
• Best way to meet other travelers or expats in Rabat (hostels, cafes, meetups, language schools)?
• How safe did it actually feel as a solo guy, especially walking around at night?
• Any solo specific scams or hassles to expect?
• Apartment vs. hostel vs. homestay for a stay this long?
• Did you do weekend solo trips? Chefchaouen, Fez, the coast, Sahara? Any worth it or skip?
• How did you handle the slower stretches when you got bored or homesick?
• Anything you wish you’d known before going solo for that long?
Appreciate any tips or stories, thanks!

Hey all,
Canadian here, planning a 1 to 2 month trip to Morocco (Rabat) this summer to seriously work on my Arabic (focusing on MSA) and also study some Quran while I’m there. Looking for advice from anyone who’s done immersion abroad, especially for Arabic.
Schools I’m looking at are Al Minbar and Qalam wa Lawh. Open to other suggestions too.
A few questions:
• If you’ve done a 1 to 2 month immersion, what did your daily routine look like? How many hours of class vs. self study vs. just talking to people?
• Did intensive courses actually move the needle, or was the real progress from speaking outside of class?
• Best ways to find a language partner or tutor on top of school?
• Any resources (apps, textbooks, YouTube channels) you’d recommend for prepping before I go?
• Realistic goals for MSA progress in 1 to 2 months of immersion?
Appreciate any input!
