Level Up Your Catalan: Master Everyday Conversations with A1.2
You know how to say "Hola," introduce yourself, and talk about your family. But the moment a waiter asks for your order or you need to buy something at a local shop, you freeze up.
Moving past the absolute basics can feel daunting when you're learning alone. You don't need to re-learn how to say your name—you need a structured path to take your Catalan out of the textbook and into the real world.
This continuation course is designed to bridge the gap between basic introductions and practical, everyday conversations. In our small, interactive group, you’ll tackle real-life situations so you can navigate Catalonia like a local. It is the perfect, pressure-free environment to build on your foundation and finally feel comfortable speaking.
🖥️ 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 between classes.
🤝 A Built-in Community: Connect, practice, and ask questions with fellow language learners sharing your exact goals.
By the end of our 12 weeks together, you will confidently be equipped to handle:
🍽️ Dining Out: Talk about food and drink, and successfully order at a restaurant or café like a pro.
🛍️ Shopping: Describe clothes, talk about colors, and navigate clothing stores in Catalan.
⏰ Daily Life: Master reflexive verbs to describe your daily routine, your home, and what you do around the house.
🌤️ Out & About: Chat about the weather, your free-time activities, and your upcoming holiday plans.
👥 Describing the World: Compare people and things easily using adjectives and comparatives.
🔁 Complete Confidence: Week 12 features a full review and consolidation of everything we've covered so you leave ready for the next level!
This programme is ideal for those who already know the basics of Catalan (A1.1 level) and want to build on that foundation in a structured, supportive environment.
If you can introduce yourself, describe people, talk about your family, and share your basic likes, dislikes, and hobbies—you are in exactly the right place! If you want to use new verbs and tackle everyday situations like shopping, ordering food, or describing your home, this course is for you.
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!
