One-to-one General/Business

Catalan Course in Birmingham

It doesn't matter if you want to learn Catalan for business or pleasure - our customised language courses will help you get where you want to be.

General Catalan courses will provide you with enough grammar and vocabulary to allow you to converse with native speakers, and form a strong basis for further learning. Business courses are great for those whose career will be moving overseas - you would learn the fundamental protocols for engaging in business in Catalan, and later would start to focus more on the integral skills of reading and writing.

It is your first session and your own requirements, however, which decide the precise content of the course. A Business course will generally include common conversational topics, as well as gaining greater fluency with writing letters and emails in Catalan, as well as using the telephone. Equally, a General course will cover the fundamentals, but further focus in any particular area can easily be arranged with your teacher.

We arrange Business courses for many clients; primarily those working in international trade, overseas governments and universities, and employees of multinational firms who require a second language. General courses cater mostly to those who wish to learn Catalan for short trips to (or through) a country where it is widely spoken; as well as those who wish to pass a specific Catalan exam, people who want to buy a home abroad, and people marrying into a Catalan family.

Info about Birmingham

Often referred to as England's 'second city', Birmingham is famed for its industrial importance throughout the country's history, as well as being home to the 'least sexy' accent in the UK. While it may be characteristic of Birmingham's native population, the city actually has the smallest indigenous population by proportion of any city in the United Kingdom. In fact the city has become known as a 'plural city' - that is, one with no ethnic majority.

This cultural variety is what makes Birmingham a cracking place to start picking up a second language. With around 20% of the population born outside the UK, and another 15% from outside the EU, there are plenty of opportunities to discover new and interesting languages around the city; and thanks to Birmingham's city council being the UK's largest local education authority, there is a wide and varied pool of qualified language trainers made available to you.

Info about Catalan

Spoken as the national language in Andorra, and utilised in several territories in Spain (most notably Catalonia, parts of Valencia, and the Balearic Islands) as well as parts of Italy and southern France, Catalan is spoken by around 9 million people worldwide, though primarily in Europe. Spain's re-entry into democracy in 1975 increased the use of Catalan around Spain, which had for so long been banned from being used by the Spanish media in favour of Castilian, the language which non-native speakers generally refer to as 'Spanish'.

Regarded as a language in its own right and not simply a regional Spanish dialect, Catalan is actually divided into two dialects - Western and Eastern Catalan, though linguists can debate that each of these can be divided into several sub-dialects depending on the area in which it is spoken, making it a particularly exotic language to learn!
