One to One French Course - 4 Lessons Daily

I really enjoyed every day in Rabat! I was in Riad in Sale which was quite far from the school ( needed two taxis and walking) but I found out I can walk to school (1 hour and 30 mins) and I enjoyed everyday walking to school because the scenery was SOOO beautiful on the way, the historical architectures, modern trams, the river, the sea, etc. I ended up with walking everywhere in Rabat and Sale all day long and it was so fun! I met many Moroccan talking to me, and I made many new friends in Rabat! I also loved the school. My teacher was Abyr with 4 other classmates. I asked every question that I did not understand, but she is super personable and patient. I enjoyed the topics that she brings about in class every day. I feel like I learned SOOO much in only one week! I would love to come back next summer to learn from her again and experience more in Rabat!

I joined Ima’ s classes for 4 weeks and had a great time. The level of French was exactly right for me and I feel I made good progress. The classes were small with only 5-6 students of all ages and colors which made all the interactions interesting and enjoyable. Outside class time there was plenty to do in Rabat and surroundings. During the weekends it was super easy to get out to other places and enjoy Moroccan culture. My stay at Husain and Aicha and their two adorable kids was fantastic: a truly Moroccan experience and good opportunities to speak French.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to get away from home and delve into an immersion language experience. As a matter of fact I am pretty sure I will consider going again if I get the opportunity

- the levels of the members were too different
- teacher spend so much time on the mobile phone

Extremely great teacher, the lessons were very educational, the accommodation very well located, great service and great breakfast, I really liked the little Riad, where stayed

Excellent teacher, enjoyed every bit of it! Great choice of teaching material - I not only learned a lot in terms of language, but also really enjoyed all the interesting discussions we had and the variety of topics covered. Our teacher did a great job adjusting to our needs and interests! Since we were only two students in my class we were able to make some good progress and had loads of opportunities to practice both our speaking and writing. I would definitely come back!

My trip was postponed for 2 years because of corona. In those 2 years I had continued to practice conversations in Arabic but I had forgotten much of the grammar. Also, because I had done almost everything alone until now, I had never learned the grammatical terms in Arabic. Plural, masculine, feminine.. that's why it was difficult for me to follow the first lesson. I didn't really feel like doing that grammar again, but we also practiced a lot of speaking and listening. With private lessons, I really liked that the teacher wrote her lesson for me on paper, and not on the blackboard. So after every lesson I received a "treasure" of information without spelling mistakes. I do sometimes think: it wouldn't have been better if I had done fewer grammar topics and then with a lot more practice sentences on paper. Now all grammar has been retrieved again, I largely understand it, but can't apply it. I'm afraid it will go away soon.

After my entry test results, it was decided to give me private lessons. I thought that was a good idea in itself, but I thought it was a shame that I didn't meet other students that way. I only met them on the last day at the cooking class and there were very interesting people with studies and work on conflict zones, human rights, etc. Just like me. I'm really sorry I spoke to them so briefly. I had just booked an 11-day trip in the hope of traveling a bit with people I would meet, now I've been on the road alone for 10 days.

I have a lot of travel experience, know Morocco and West Africa so enjoy the souk, the markets, sitting on the beach on a Saturday afternoon watching so much water-sand-fun, museums, a day in Tangier with the TGV. Without host family and without travel experience, it would have been very boring.
My host family was very cordial and I had a beautiful living space. They also gave me the space to go out alone. Too bad the children only spoke French. So during the meals we couldn't speak Arabic. The television was also always on the French language. And the last 2 days there was a student who came for Frans. Thus, the family was not an "immersion" in the Arabic language. Now I knew that I wouldn't hear Arabic on the street in Morocco either. I have always practiced with taxi drivers. I would then mix up French and Arabic all the time which made for funny contacts and better than not practicing at all.
My time in Morocco was all in all a lot of fun. I especially found the conversations about daily life interesting. The pressure from private education, the costs, the pressure for children to perform. The change from large to small families.

Rabat is very good and safe, i love it
How the way they teach, no i don't like it.
I studied my in English in USA, and i just compare..

I totally recommend this school to anyone! My experience was 5 stars out 5 all ways around! I've made a lot of progress , learned a lot. The lessons were structured perfectly, very attentive teachers who tailor the lesson According to students ' needs. Only nice things to be told!

The location is good, so you can find this school easily. I learned Arabic here only one week but my Arabic skill improved very much thanks to its good teacher. As I am Japanese, I had to speak English. Then, I got very tired and wanted sweets for my brain but fortunately, sweets and tea are prepared.

If you learn a language here long, you can experience other activities like Arabic calligraphy. And I stayed at a hotel in Rabat Medina because of the short curriculum but if you stay longer, you should stay in other way.

I chose Sprachcaffe Rabat to improve my knowledge of Arabic language: I wanted to study in a quiet place, not very far from home and the Moroccan capital seemed a perfect location. The institute is takes the activity seriously, and before admission to a course the student has to pass an exam, needed to verify the level and the class. The environment is welcoming and relaxed, and the teachers are well prepared: for my intermediate level the lessons focused on conversation, culture, and some particular aspects of the grammar. The fact that classes consist of a small number of students also contributes to the experience.

The institute also organizes activities and trips outside the courses: the only drawbacks are that there is a minimum number of students for each activity and that sometimes the activities themselves may take place in the same hours as the lessons. Otherwise they are interesting and inexpensive.

Also, the solution chosen for the housing (i.e. a very nice and friendly riadh in Salé with wonderful breakfasts included in the service) has revealed to be excellent for my needs, especially thanks to the very efficient tramway in Rabat.

I found the course useful and rewarding, therefore I can definitely recommend Sprachcaffe Rabat.

I have taken French classes for a long time in my life but I have never had the confidence or the want to speak it. At Sprachcaffe I enjoyed the classes, my teachers, my classmates and overall the entire experience. I stayed with a host family, they welcomed me with such open arms and gave me the comfort I needed as well as an insane amount of delicious food. I highly recommend Sprachcaffe and Sprachcaffe in Rabat to anyone keen to experience a different culture, meet wonderful people, while simultaneously learning a language.

The manager put me in the advanced class even though I only scored A2 . They only had two group classes, one for beginners (A1) and the other was for advanced students (B1.2 would be my guess, as I work at a language school and am well aware of the levels). They, therefor, could not accommodate me. They did not want to give me my money back as they said I should have asked for my money back before the course had started. They should have told me that they could not help me after I had written the placement test, stating that my level was A2. Furthermore, the teacher was very arrogant and disrespectful of my culture and language. Also, he only spoke about philosophy, politics and economics in the class, which are not topics that are included in A2. Last but not least, there was no grammar training that took place in 3 hours.

Have been there for 2 weeks to learn french,
because nobody else had the same (total beginner) level of french i was even upgraded to private lessons. I also really enjoyed the activities Sprachcafe offered outside school, like trips to other cities, etc.
I recommend to use the homestay option to get to now the culture aswell, i really felt integrated into the marocian family I stayed with. I should really point out the homestay manager who often worked overtime to be there for his clients.
Having problems with injuries, sickness, culture fatigue, wifi or you just want to spend some free time? He takes care of it . A very good example for the marocian hospitality i guess. I spend a really good time learning a new language and enjoying marocian food and culture!

Sprachcaffe is ideally located in the centre of Rabat, just 5 minutes walking from the main train station "Rabat Ville" (if you arrive from Casablanca by high speed train, you will have to get off the train at "Rabat Agdal"). The teachers are very friendly and extremely helpful, also when it comes to change the class due to a switching to a different level. Facilities are good and clean. I have not experienced the proposed activities, as I preferred to visit different locations / cities on my own. Prices for activities are however a bit on the high side. Housing was extremely good, a perfect host family, caring for us at the utmost; their cooking was just divine! The cold and damp weather in January was a real challenge, it would greatly help to have at least a small heater in the bedroom…

The overall experience was very positive, and I can only recommend Sprachcaffe to students from around the world. The fact that you can learn Arabic AND French in Rabat is certainly a great opportunity for people eager to do so. My special thanks goes to Safaa, the school director; very professional and friendly.

Wish you all the best in your continuation.
with my best regards,
Jürg

The teacher and location are good. There was no social activities due to lack of participants.

In general, it's quite a pleasant time that i spent in Rabat for 2 months. The school teacher Ouiame was very professional and patient, also had a lot of experience dealing with Arabic beginners. Personally I felt the class was going too fast because I didn't review much and didn't have much chance to practice because not everyone in Morocco speaks classic Arabic. That is one of the most negative points to study Arabic in Morocco, even though it's actually nothing to do with the school itself.

The school is located in the very center of Rabat, quite easy to move around because train station is a 5 minutes walk from school, facilities, activities ok. Housing in my case, is a bit too far from school (Riad dar Baddi, Sale), it's about 6-8 km away. I was always late in the beginning due to the traffic, then i got used to it.

Housing was ok in general, apart from the far location, the owner's daughter was mostly in charge the whole time, didn't particularly like her attitude being the person in charge. Food quantity not enough, not accepting complaints, refusing to improve service quality.

The first day I had some trouble finding the right building. So a bigger sign wouldn't hurt. I am really satisfied with the course! My teacher was great- she really spoke English well and know how to teach! The facilities were good. I'm happy!

I came for a refresher of my Arabic that I had forgotten. I think these three weeks of classes were beneficial to me and I have really progressed during my stay in Rabat. I liked the way the teacher begins her lesson by making us speak in turn. The exercises were varied, it was informative and not at all boring. The presentations at the weekend were also a good idea. The courses correspond to what I expected .
I stayed at a hotel so I can not comment about the home-stay .
The school is very well located in Rabat, next to the street, Mohamed V.
I have not participated in activities because I did not stay long enough in Rabat , I also think it would be better to stay longer.
The whole team seemed very friendly and competent in my opinion.
I do not know how to describe the facilities in English so I cannot answer.
