Arabic and Darija Lessons in Casablanca — Online, One-to-One

Learning Arabic from Casablanca

Casablanca is Morocco’s largest city and business capital. Many expat professionals work in French or English all day and realise after months that they still cannot chat with a taxi driver, a neighbour or a colleague over lunch — that everyday world runs on Darija.

Lisanova Academy is run from Morocco but teaches online only: there is no school building or classroom to visit in any Moroccan city. Every lesson is a live one-to-one video lesson with a Moroccan teacher, which you join from home, work or your hotel.

Where to start

Expats: Darija for daily life and the office. Families: Arabic reading or Quran for children.

Lisanova teaches Modern Standard Arabic and Moroccan Darija only, plus Quran. It does not teach Tamazight (Berber) languages.

Lesson times in Casablanca

You are in the same time zone as your teacher: Morocco keeps UTC+1 for most of the year and UTC+0 during Ramadan.

When you book the free trial or ask on WhatsApp, send your city and two or three preferred local times. The academy replies with a proposed time in your local time and in Morocco time; the lesson is fixed only once you both confirm. No timetable is published in advance and no hour is guaranteed.

Explanation language and teachers

Teachers explain in Arabic, English, French or Spanish; the Arabic you learn is a separate choice from the explanation language. Tell us your preference when you enquire and we confirm a suitable teacher before you commit.
