How It Works

"Christina is a truly incredible teacher and has a natural ability to get her students to speak, something that is not so easy through video-classes. She joins class and immediately makes everyone feel at ease by having some playful banter. Could not recommend this course enough!"

"Thank you for making it so much fun to learn Catalan. I thought learning might feel more like being back in school but you make it a joy to learn in every class and keep me motivated week on week with your wonderful teaching style, patience, the material and your encouragement all the way.

Thank you Christina, I am so happy to be learning Catalan with the Lazy Linguist classes and delighted with my progress. Most importantly I am having fun all the way!"

"I loved this class, and have found it so helpful! Christina is very organized, and had us learning a lot of vocabulary in a short time using methods that helped it to sink in. She also gave us access to plenty of learning materials for reinforcing the lessons for those with the time and motivation to work between classes. I highly recommend this class for anyone wanting to make quick progress in Catalan as a beginner."

"It was really enjoyable being a part of a small group learning Catalan together. It was really helpful to see that the challenges learning a language are not unique to me, and share and experience these with others. I enjoyed the range of topics and subjects covered, and feel that my vocabulary has improved. I really enjoyed your teaching in general, it feels very much like a "safe space" for making errors and questions and enjoyed that you provided added context and information where appropriate."

"I joined the course after listening to the Lazy Linguist podcast. It's a great step up as it teaches real conversational skills, starting with the basics then expanding topics (and tenses). I'm already much more engaged in conversation when visiting Catalunya."

"Christina is a fantastic teacher - the lessons are always engaging, fun and she manages to cover a huge amount of material within each hour. Our Catalan has improved enormously for just 12 hours of classes. She has made all her own materials to teach from and the structure of the course is excellent - you will notice a difference immediately when you are next in a Catalan-speaking environment. She is also very encouraging and the groups are very supportive - we looked forward to our classes and have already signed up for her next course, which says it all!"

"I’ve really enjoyed the A1.1 and A1.2 courses. Each lesson with Christina has been really engaging. We learn lots of new words but also consolidate a lot of vocabulary and grammar from previous sessions. I've definitely noticed that I recognise more when I'm listening to or reading Catalan. The small group settings are friendly and supportive which has really helped build my confidence speaking and the after class exercises have also improved my written skills. I’ve noticed real progress collectively as a group and I'm really looking forward to joining the classes at the next level on."

"The class was very structured and the topics very appropriate for daily conversation. I now could have a simple conversation in Catalan and I’m delighted with my progress."
