Lankey: Morocco - French and Arabic Study Abroad Programs

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
This program is definitely a one-time life experience. It was perfect in every possible way! The staff is so professional in their work, organized, helpful, and fun! You get the chance to travel to 7 different cities, each better than the other. Each city brings something different which made me so curious to explore even more. Marrakesh was my number one destination: I tasted Tanjia which is a special meal in Marrakesh and I am in love with it. also, it has its own traditional ambiance in Jemaa el Fna and that immerse you more with the culture. there are so many other beautiful cities: Tangier, Casablanca, and Merzouga, etc. Apart from that, my learning journey was absolutely interesting. I chose to learn French and I am so happy to do it with Lankey. My teacher was so patient with me. when I come back home, everyone noticed how my french level improved. I can say words without feeling unconfident and I can listen to short stories and understand them. I loved the experience, I got to make friends whom I still talk to and hang out with. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, YOU HAVE TO GO! You won't regret it a tiny bit. Be ready to experience the best trip of your life. Be open to learning about new traditions and language3666. Be ready to meet different people. Be ready to tell your family and friends about it!!! I would suggest bringing a friend with you so that you have a great company that you both will remember the rest of your life, but at the same time, branching out and meeting new people is definitely a plus.
