Building Your Catalan Foundations over 12 Weeks in a Small Group Setting.
Let’s be honest—language apps are great for passing the time, but they don’t teach you how to hold a real conversation. Maybe you’re starting completely from scratch, or maybe you have a few words floating around but freeze up when it’s time to actually speak.
You don't need more endless flashcards. You need structured practice, a safe space to make mistakes, and a teacher who gets it.
This isn’t your average textbook class. It’s a live, interactive experience designed to get you speaking fast. With small groups of just 3 to 6 people, you’ll get the personalized attention you need to build fluency and confidence in a fun, incredibly supportive environment.
🖥️ 12 Weeks of Live Lessons: One hour a week of focused, guided learning with an expert native teacher.
🗣️ Maximum Speaking Practice: Capped at 3–6 students, ensuring you never get lost in the crowd and get plenty of mic time.
💻 Interactive Learning Hub: 24/7 access to a dedicated student website to reinforce your weekly lessons.
📝 Premium Resources: Worksheets, quizzes, and materials designed to keep your momentum going.
🤝 A Built-in Community: Connect, practice, and ask questions with fellow language learners sharing your goals.
By the end of our 12 weeks together, you will confidently be able to:
👋 Introduce yourself and chat about who you are, your age, and your roots.
🗺️ Describe your world, from the people in your life to your favorite places in the city.
💼 Talk about everyday life, including your family, your pets, and your career.
❤️ Express yourself, sharing exactly what you love (and what you definitely don't!).
🎨 Chat about your downtime, discussing your hobbies, passions, and free-time activities.
Absolutely! This course is perfect for absolute beginners looking for a solid foundation, or returning learners who have some prior experience but need structured practice to finally feel confident speaking out loud. Whether you are starting from zero or just need to break through the conversational barrier, this program will get you there.
Hi! I’m Júlia, a Catalan and Spanish teacher. I’m based in Barcelona, but for the past three years my life has been split between Barcelona and England. I’m passionate about teaching and learning, as the two go hand in hand 😉
I love meeting new people and discovering new cultures, and you’ll probably always find me learning a new hobby. I’m what we’d describe in Catalan as a "cul inquiet" (a restless girl).
I’ve been tutoring for two years now, and I’m excited to meet new students and help them improve their language skills and reach their goals.
Classes will be kept small, with 3-6 participants per group. This ensures that you have plenty of opportunity to practice speaking and receive personalized attention. You’ll be with the same group of learners and teacher for the full 12 weeks, allowing you to build connections and friendships along the way!
No prior knowledge of Catalan is required! This programme is designed for beginners, so you’ll start from scratch and build your skills step by step.
Equally, this is perfect for you even if you do have some prior experience but don’t yet feel confident speaking Catalan.
If you miss a class, don’t worry—you’ll receive a video recording and the class materials to catch up. You can always reach out to your teacher for extra support.
Each class will focus on a specific theme or topic, combining listening, speaking, with little focus on grammar. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to practice speaking in a relaxed, interactive setting. Classes will often build from previous learning to ensure plenty of spaced retrieval and interleaving. Plus, there will be fun activities like role plays and games to make learning enjoyable!
If you have more questions, don't hesitate to contact us directly on our website or email us at thelazylinguistpodcast@gmail.com
Spots are strictly limited to 6 students per group to guarantee maximum speaking time for everyone. Don't miss out on the chance to finally reach your language goals!
