Moroccan Darija and Arabic Tutor Online for Oran

Learning Arabic from Oran

Oran is close to the Moroccan border, and western Algerian speech is among the closest to Moroccan Darija. Many learners here understand a lot already and want to speak Moroccan Darija naturally with family.

Lisanova Academy is an online academy run from Morocco. It has no classroom, branch or locally based tutor outside Morocco: every lesson is a live one-to-one video lesson with a Moroccan teacher.

Where to start

Western-Algerian speakers: Moroccan vocabulary and pronunciation. Children: MSA reading or Quran.

Lisanova teaches two kinds of Arabic only: Modern Standard Arabic (MSA, Fusha) — the shared written and formal Arabic of books, news, documents and schools across the Arab world — and Moroccan Darija, the everyday spoken Arabic of Morocco. It does not teach Algerian Arabic, or any dialect other than Moroccan Darija.

Lesson times in Oran

Oran is on UTC+1. This is UTC+1 all year. Morocco is also on UTC+1 for most of the year, so lesson times are usually identical; during Ramadan Morocco moves to UTC+0 and you are one hour ahead.

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.
