Qalam Center for Arabic Studies: Rabat - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I studied Arabic at the Qalam wa Lawh Center in Rabat for three months. I attended a course in standard Arabic and Arabic media and I found them excellent. The teachers are all native speakers and have special qualifications for teaching Arabic. In addition to the standard Arabic course, the school offers various types of courses, such as a Moroccan dialect course, an Arabic literature course, a course in arabic media and many others. The institute also offers a scholarship called the "Ibn Battuta Scholarship". In addition to school activities, the institute offers extra activities, such as weekend trips to various locations in Morocco. I really appreciated the teaching method thanks to which I was able to improve considerably my language proficiency. Even weekend trips are excellent and very well organized.
