Step Into Fluency: Express Your True Self and Tell Your Stories in A2.2
You understand the gist of what people are saying, and you can hold your own in simple, present-tense conversations. But when you try to tell a funny story about your childhood, express a strong opinion on a movie, or talk about your future goals, the words get stuck.
It’s frustrating when your personality gets lost in translation. You don't want to just communicate anymore—you want to connect. You want to stop translating word-for-word and start speaking fluidly.
This is where your Catalan truly comes to life. In this small, highly interactive group, we move past "survival mode." We'll focus on expanding your vocabulary and giving you the exact grammatical tools you need to combine ideas, use a wider variety of tenses seamlessly, and tackle real-life topics with total confidence.
Everything You Need to Succeed:
🖥️ 12 Weeks of Live Lessons: One hour a week of focused, dynamic learning with an expert native teacher.
🗣️ Maximum Speaking Practice: Small groups (3–6 people) ensure you get the personalized feedback and mic time you need to build real fluency.
💻 Interactive Learning Hub: 24/7 access to a dedicated student website to reinforce your weekly lessons.
📝 Premium Resources: Worksheets, quizzes, and extra materials to support your learning outside of class.
🤝 A Built-in Community: Connect, practice, and ask questions with fellow learners on the exact same journey.
By the end of our 12 weeks together, you will confidently be able to:
🧱 Bulletproof Your Foundations: We’ll recap key tenses (present, past, and future) to build your confidence in constructing longer, more complex sentences.
🗣️ Share Your Daily Life: Master the perfect tense and modal verbs (puc, he de) to naturally describe your routines, habits, and what you’ve been up to.
🏥 Handle Real-World Scenarios: Navigate practical situations with ease, from handling medical/health conversations to booking a hotel stay.
🎶 Express Your Opinions: Stop just saying "I like it." Fluently discuss your preferences, dive into music, TV, and films, and share what you really think.
📚 Tell Stories from the Past: Unlock the imperfect tense to vividly describe your childhood, school days, and past routines.
🔮 Dream Big: Learn the conditional tense to talk about hypothetical situations, your goals, and your greatest aspirations.
This course is specifically designed for learners who already know the basics of Catalan (have completed A1 or equivalent) but feel stuck at the beginner level.
If you understand quite a lot when listening or reading, and can talk about yourself in simple terms, but struggle to speak fluidly or combine ideas—this is exactly where you need to be. We will help you bridge the gap from "I know the basics" to "I can actually express myself in Catalan."
Hola, soc la Christina! La teva professora! 👩🏫
With a lifelong passion for languages and over 12 years of tutoring experience, I’ve spent the last 6 years teaching languages in schools. Whether it's teaching Catalan, Spanish, French, or German, I’ve worked with students of all levels, and I’ve seen firsthand how much we can achieve when we collaborate and learn together.
Throughout my career, I've learned that the best way to make language learning both effective and enjoyable is through personalised, interactive, and engaging lessons. That’s why I’m so excited to now bring this approach into group classes for Catalan. The energy and support that comes with learning in a group setting is something really special, and I can’t wait to help you experience that!
My teaching philosophy is rooted in understanding how we best learn. I’m passionate about applying insights from my background in Psychology to help students not only master a language but enjoy the process. It’s about making language learning accessible, engaging, and fun.
I’m thrilled to be taking this next step with you and can’t wait to see how you progress in my group programme!
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
To guarantee that everyone gets personalized feedback and plenty of mic time, we strictly cap this group at just 6 students.
Because of the small class size, these cohorts fill up quickly. Don't miss your chance to bridge the gap from beginner to confident speaker!
