Learn Catalan!

Spice up your summer
Learn a romance language!

La Trobe University’s Spanish Program, in conjunction with the Catalan Government, invites you to join in a four week intensive Catalan language course for complete beginners this summer.

This introduction to the exciting and dynamic Catalan language will give you insight into the unique culture from this part of Spain. Offered for complete beginners, this four week intensive course, equivalent to one semester’s learning, will reinforce the everyday use of the language.

Incorporating a range of materials, Dr Victòria Gras, an experienced teacher and native speaker of Catalan, will introduce you to a variety of aspects of Catalan culture and language, exploring the problematic co-existence of Catalan alongside Spanish, particularly in relation to Barcelona.
