Language course Catalan for exchange with Catalonia/Spain

Did you know that Spain is a fascinating blend of languages and cultures? How much do you know about the vibrant Catalan-speaking regions in the country? With approximately 10 million speakers, Catalan serves as the primary language for daily life in Catalonia, Valencia, and the Balearic Islands.
Exploring the Catalan language and culture will not only be incredibly useful for unlocking authentic experiences if you ever find yourself in Catalan-speaking regions, but will also allow you to delve into the true essence of Spain and to better understand its contemporary society. If you already have a background in Spanish, Italian or another Romance language, you will find that you can quickly grasp the basics of Catalan and make remarkable progress in a relatively short time. In addition, our small groups provide an efficient and warm learning environment. Discovering Catalan will open up new perspectives and personal experiences that will surely surprise you!
If you want to learn more about Catalan, you will be more than welcome to join our courses for the next semester:
- "Catalan I": Mi, 11.45 – 13.15 Uhr
- "Catalan I" (compact course): 2. – 5. April 2024, 9.15 – 17.00 Uhr

We are contacting you because we would like to offer your students a unique opportunity to join our organization for a practical traineeship.
