Learning Catalan in Barcelona

Catalan is a deliberate learning choice in Barcelona. It can support participation in local public life and Catalan-language culture; it should not be framed as more authentic than Spanish for every learner.

Purpose → level → hours → use

Start with why you want Catalan, then verify placement, recognised target, contact hours, teacher, group size and how corrected speaking moves beyond the classroom. Exposure on signs and in public life is useful, but it does not replace structured practice.

What to verify

• Exact centre and current cohort
• Placement and target level
• Lesson length, contact hours and timetable
• Teacher assignment and teaching language
• Actual group size and speaking time
• Assessment, materials and prompted use
• Accessibility, holidays, refund, price and availability
