"Attending Darija courses here at Roots Academy has been an experience like no other. The instructors go at a pace that you are able to keep up with because they ensure that you understand the information that you are being taught. There is time to activate the language through speaking activities, but also you have the opportunity to create your own sentences with the vocabulary. You learn how to grammatically form sentences in a safe setting where you feel comfortable enough to make mistakes without the stress that is normally associated with making mistakes outside of the classroom."

"My time with the Fatima Al-Fihri Internship-Scholarship at Roots has been a well-balanced and enriching experience. I've built my resume by taking a lead on projects, navigating a bilingual work environment, and participating in hands-on cultural activities. This immersive opportunity has facilitated professional and personal growth."

Studying at Roots Academy gave me the most unforgettable memories that I will keep forever in my life. I will not hide that it was a difficult ordeal, however, all teachers did a wonderful job of making sure everything was understood in the teaching, listening carefully to the questions, and supporting discussions. In addition, Youssef and the teachers handled the complexities of learning very well. Roots Academy treats its students with such kindness and care; as soon as I entered the building, the team helped me integrate with former students, which I really liked.
