Language trip to Morocco

Nestled in North Africa, Morocco is a crossroads of Middle Eastern, European, and African influences, making it a unique setting of cultural exploration for French and Spanish language learners.

From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by the sound of bustling markets, the aroma of spices, and the colourful Moroccan culture, where students can practice French or Spanish in authentic settings.

During your trip, you’ll step into French-influenced souks and street markets where students can practise transactional language, bargaining phrases and speaking with local guides. In Fes and Meknès, students will explore medieval medinas, artisan workshops and food markets where French is widely spoken.

Spanish students will thrive in Tangier and nearby Tétouan and Chefchaouen, where the historical trading routes with Europe have given this mountainous coastline a uniquely different culture and history.

Evening activities, such as traditional Moroccan dinners and live performances, offer more opportunities to experience the country’s vibrant culture.
