Taa Marbouta

Learn Arabic in Tunisia

Arabic is one of the six official UN languages and the mother tongue of hundreds of millions of people around the world. Modern Standard Arabic is the language of the media and formal communication. At the Taa Marbouta Language Centre we provide Modern Standard Arabic classes targeting working professionals and students, whether they are at a beginner, intermediate or advanced level. Students can benefit from the flexible curriculum that we have designed, based on their interests and goals. Group classes are available in-person at our centre in Carthage, Tunis, while private classes can be taken online or in-person.

Learn French in Tunisia

French is one of the six official UN languages, a working language for international organisations and institutions the world over, and a key language of European history and culture. And of course, it is often called the language of love. As a former French colony, Tunisia has long been a Francophone country. At the Taa Marbouta Language Centre we provide French classes targeting working professionals and students, whether they are at a beginner, intermediate or advanced level. Group classes are available in-person at our centre in Carthage, Tunis, while private classes can be taken online or in-person.

Learn different Arabic Dialects

While formal Arabic provides an element of linguistic unity throughout the Arab world, dozens of dialects are spoken ‘on the street’ across the region. In reality, many dialects mix both Modern Standard Arabic and local terminology. At the Taa Marbouta Language Centre we teach the Tunisian and Libyan dialects, also known as Darija. Our experienced teachers will give you lessons and courses that are tailored to help you learn Tunisian Arabic and Libyan Arabic effectively. Group classes are available in-person at our centre in Carthage, Tunis, while private classes can be taken online or in-person.

I highly recommend Tamarbouta for program to learn the Tunisian dialects. They have provided a high quality content to my 8 years old English speaking daughter. Now my daughter is very confident communicating in Tunisian. She went all the way to learn Tunisian rap songs :) isn’t this amazing !!!! Thank you so much Tamarbouta

A great up-and-coming language school that I highly recommend. I attended Taa Marbouta for 3 weeks of private instruction in advanced fussha Arabic. My professor, Noura, was fantastic and one of the best Arabic professors I have ever had hands down! Challenging but very kind and good at her job, and she will teach you quickly. Because she was my only professor, I can’t speak more generally about the other professors at Taa Marbouta. However, I have very high confidence in the administration - in particular Khaoula, Dorra and Craig, with whom I interacted the most. It is abundantly clear that they are serious about being a high-quality, well-run and welcoming language school for Arabic students coming from all across the world. Email communication was fantastic and prompt. Craig, one of the co-founders, took the time to chat with me over Webex to answer questions I had before enrolling. Khaoula met me at the airport and personally drove me to my one-bedroom flat in Carthage (which they seamlessly arranged on my behalf and which was reasonably priced and only a 10-minute walk from the school). And Dorra arranged a trip to El Jem and Keirouan (that had to be canceled at the last minute for reasons outside their control) which would’ve largely been covered by the school. Of course this is a smaller language school so it may be less socially vibrant than other Arabic schools across the Arabic-speaking world, but I don’t expect Taa Marbouta to be small for long. In any event, Tunisia is a great country and a nice change of pace from countries like Morocco and Jordan where most Western Arabic students go. Taa Marbouta will take care of you well.

Very welcoming language center that caters to the students‘ needs and adapts teaching styles and methods to individual level of knowledge and preferred styles of learning. They offer classes even with a very small number of pupils, which helps to benefit even more from the classes and gives flexibility in the schedule of the classes regarding week days and hours. Familiar friendly atmosphere. It is the only language center in the beautiful Carthage neighborhood.

My goal was to learn French, but I found a family and friendship in addition to education. Thank you, Hajar, you are really a great teacher

Absolutely excellent language school. I urgently needed a teacher to improve my French for a work commitment and they immediately set up virtual courses that worked with my travel schedule. Under the professional and thoughtful tutelage of their teacher Hajer, I've been able to improve immensely in a short amount of time - with lessons that are fun, engaging, and tailored.
