To offer people interested in learning Arabic language the opportunity to come and discover Morocco, being hosted in a Moroccan family to better learn from our culture and also to do some volunteer work in the mornings (as the arabic classes would take place in the afternoons) so as to contribute to the development of our society. 1. Arabic is the 5th most commonly spoken native language in the world and an official language of the United Nations, the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Conference, and the African Union. 2. Arabic is the language of Islam, understood by Muslims throughout the world. 3. There is a high demand of Arabic-speakers in the Western world so... job opportunities increasing in a lot of fields: journalism, business and industry, education, finance and banking, translation and interpretation, consulting, foreign service and intelligence, and many others. 4. Knowing Arabic can promote intercultural understanding: Westerners are presented with one-dimensional negative stereotypes of Arabic-speaking peoples through the news media, films etc. Besides of all what is happening nowadays in the Middle East. People who know Arabic can negotiate the cultural and linguistic gap between nations, assist in solving and avoiding intercultural conflict. 5. Arabic influence is evident in many other languages. People interested in this project can choose between learning Darija, the Moroccan dialect, or Fusha, classic Arabic. Morocco is a safe and North African Muslim country, so it can give you the ideal opportunity to learn more about Arabic and Islamic influences. One of the best ways to develop greater knowledge of Islamic culture is to learn Arabic. You can do this through our association, receiving 10 hours tuition per week and volunteering in one of our projects in the morning.
