CMA or “darija” is the most widely spoken dialect in Morocco. While most CMA words find their root in MSA, a part of the lexical is borrowed from Spanish, French and Berber.
As it is the case with all Arab countries, Moroccans do not use fusha (MSA) to communicate with each other; the fusha is mainly used in printed and spoken media as well as official documents. Just like other Arab countries, Morocco has its own dialect called darija.
Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is the standardized literary Arabic understood throughout the Arab speaking world. It is a modernized version of Classical Arabic, which is the language from which all Arab dialects get their roots.
For those aiming to learn as much as possible, as quickly and effectively as possible, we prepared the Intensive MSA course PLUS. With 6 hours of classroom time per day, it still gives you plenty of time for self-study and exploring Morocco, but learning definitely takes centre stage.

How long should I study?
The minimum duration for a language course is usually two weeks, but students benefit the most starting from the 3rd and 4th weeks of their language course, after they get used to the new environment. By this time, the early distractions are over and the student has "settled in". The average student takes about 12 weeks of language studies abroad.
