Information

This course will provide students with basic knowledge of the Catalan language and its culture. The main objective is to enable students to understand and use very common everyday expressions and simple sentences aimed at meeting immediate needs. It will also introduce them to key aspects of Catalan culture.

The linguistic and cultural background of students is used as the ground to build upon and to maximize their learning. They will work using a communicative and challenge-based learning methodology.

This course is not intended for students who have lived in Catalonia, even for a short period. It focuses on discovering the basics and essence of the culture. Therefore, if you have lived there, we do not recommend enrolling.
