Formal Arabic lessons for professional communication

Two kinds of Arabic at work

Professional life in or with the Arab world uses two registers. Written and formal communication — emails, reports, presentations, official documents — runs on Modern Standard Arabic. The hallway conversation, the lunch, the relationship-building runs on the local spoken variety, which in Morocco is Darija. Lessons at Lisanova can cover either or both, and your teacher helps you decide where your hours are best spent.

Built around your actual work

Private lessons have no fixed textbook. You bring your reality: the emails you need to write, the meetings you need to follow, the documents you need to read. Your teacher builds vocabulary and practice around your field and your tasks, so every lesson moves something you genuinely need to do.

Common professional goals

• Reading contracts, official letters and Arabic documents
• Writing clear, correct formal emails and messages
• Following and contributing to meetings in Arabic
• Presenting and answering questions in formal Arabic
• Small talk and relationship-building with Moroccan colleagues and clients
• Preparing for a posting, project or relocation involving Morocco

Honest expectations

We do not promise industry-specific fluency in a fixed number of hours — progress depends on your starting level, your practice between lessons and how often you study. What private lessons do guarantee is that every hour is spent on your goals, with feedback you cannot get from self-study.

Scheduling around a working week

Lessons are 60 minutes, online, and timed with your teacher — early morning, lunch or evening. Consistency beats intensity: one or two regular lessons a week, kept over months, takes professionals further than occasional bursts. If your work brings you to Morocco, the Arabic for expats in Morocco page covers the daily-life side of the language.
