Our language courses start at complete beginner (Catalan Language 1) and allow you to progress to being an independent user of the language (Catalan Language 2). Using a flipped classroom approach, you will gain a basic grounding in written and spoken Catalan, including through reading and listening to the language.
You'll engage with Catalan culture and explore the linguistic differences within the Catalan-speaking areas, such as Barcelona, Valencia and the Balearic Islands. Both courses are 100% coursework assessed with an emphasis on small group learning. You will take part in online quizzes, complete written assignments and give oral presentations.
