Catalan language courses

Catalan study should begin with the learner’s intended use: local public life, work, academic study, family connection or cultural participation. It should not be sold as a badge of authenticity.

• Placement and starting level
• Recognised target and assessment
• Contact hours and lesson length
• Teacher assignment and teaching language
