Break the "Beginner Barrier". Express Your True Self in Catalan with A2.1
You’ve got a solid foundation. When you listen or read in Catalan, you actually understand quite a bit. You can talk about yourself in simple terms. But when it’s time to speak fluidly or combine your ideas? That’s where the roadblock hits.
It is incredibly frustrating to have so much to say but feel limited by basic sentences. You don't just want to recite facts anymore—you want to tell stories, share plans, and actually express your personality in Catalan.
This is where things get exciting. This course is specifically designed to take you from "I know the basics" to "I can actually express myself." In a supportive, small-group setting, we’re going to focus on unlocking your fluency. We'll give you the tools to stop translating in your head and start building longer, more natural sentences that flow.
🖥️ 12 Weeks of Live Lessons: One hour a week of focused, dynamic learning with an expert native teacher.
🗣️ Maximum Speaking Practice: Strictly capped at 3–6 students, ensuring you get the personalized feedback and mic time you need to build fluency.
💻 Interactive Learning Hub: 24/7 access to a dedicated student website to reinforce your weekly lessons.
📝 Premium Resources: Worksheets, quizzes, and materials to support your learning outside of class.
🤝 A Built-in Community: Connect, practice, and ask questions with fellow learners who are at the exact same stage as you.
By the end of our 12 weeks together, you will confidently be able to:
🧱 Solidify Your Foundation: We’ll consolidate your A1 grammar and pronunciation so you have a rock-solid base to build on.
✈️ Look Ahead: Talk confidently about your future plans, dreams, and upcoming holidays.
🗺️ Navigate the City: Describe your neighbourhood in detail, give directions, and use prepositions naturally.
📖 Tell Your Stories: Learn to seamlessly use the past and future tenses together to talk about your weekends, trips, and life experiences.
🕰️ Level Up Your Past Tense: Get a smooth introduction to the imperfect tense to add depth to your conversations.
🔄 Master Daily Life: Effortlessly discuss daily routines, chores, and use modal verbs (like puc, he de...).
This programme is tailor-made for learners who have completed A1 (or equivalent) and are ready for the next leap.
If you understand a lot but struggle to speak fluidly, if you want to use different tenses together (past, present, future) without freezing up, and if you are ready to tackle real-life topics with confidence—this is your class.
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!
