American English lessons in Marrakech, taught in person
Fluenti is built around one idea: textbook English is not how people talk. In person lessons in Gueliz and Hivernage focus on the pronunciation, rhythm, slang and culture you hear in American films, podcasts and offices, taught by a native American speaker certified with CELTA and DELTA.

Textbook English vs real American English
| What school teaches | What Americans say |
|---|---|
| "How do you do? I am very well, thank you." | "Hey, what's up? I'm good, thanks." |
| "I am going to the market." | "I'm gonna head to the market real quick." |
| "Would you be so kind as to pass the salt?" | "Could you pass the salt? Thanks." |
| "I do not understand." | "Wait, what? I'm not following." |
Both columns are grammatically correct. Only one of them makes you sound like someone who lives in English, and only one of them helps you understand what you hear.
What an American English lesson covers
- Connected speech. Gonna, wanna, gotta, "I dunno." This is why films feel too fast: the words are glued together.
- The American sounds. The R, the flap T (water becomes wadder), the TH and the American vowels. See our pronunciation and accent guide (in French).
- Stress and rhythm. French and Arabic are syllable-timed, English is stress-timed. This is the number one cause of a heavy accent, and it is very fixable.
- Slang and idioms. The expressions people use now, with notes on tone and context.
- Culture. Small talk, directness, how to disagree politely, how to negotiate, how to joke.
In person in Gueliz and Hivernage
In person lessons are one-on-one at a quiet location in Gueliz or Hivernage, the central, easy-to-reach districts of Marrakech. Being in the same room makes pronunciation work faster: your tutor can show you the exact mouth and tongue position and hear small errors immediately. If you travel or your schedule changes, any lesson can move online without losing your notes or progress.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between American and British English?+
The grammar is nearly identical. The differences are pronunciation (the American R and flap T), some vocabulary (apartment and flat, truck and lorry), spelling (color and colour) and everyday expressions. Both are correct. American English dominates film, television, tech and international business.
Can I learn American English in person in Marrakech?+
Yes. Fluenti teaches one-on-one lessons in person in Gueliz and Hivernage, with the option to move online whenever you travel or prefer to stay home.
I understand written English but not spoken English. Why?+
Native speakers connect and reduce words: going to becomes gonna, what do you becomes whaddaya, water sounds like wadder. These patterns are rarely taught at school. Learning them is the fastest way to understand series, podcasts and real conversations.
Do you teach slang?+
Yes, but the slang people actually use today, with context for when it is appropriate. We also cover when to avoid it, such as in professional emails and interviews.
Will I lose my accent completely?+
The goal is clear, natural, easy-to-understand American English, not erasing who you are. Most students notice an obvious difference in clarity within the first month of focused pronunciation work.
