One-to-one General/Business
Catalan Course in Leicester
Whether you're looking to learn a language for personal or business reasons, our tailor-made courses can help you achieve your aims.
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. A Business course will focus on business protocol in Catalan, and later on reading and writing will become more important.
The exact syllabus is not determined simply in terms of 'General' or 'Business' - the course is tailor-made to your needs. If, as a Business student, you need extra focus on telephone or email communication, or vocabulary from a specific field of business, you only need mention this to your tutor. Likewise, a General course can include specific elements that are integral to your needs, for example if you need vocabulary specific to buying property overseas.
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 in Catalan suit those hoping to emigrate to foreign shores, people with a view to travel to countries where Catalan is the vernacular tongue, those with a keen interest in Catalan culture and language, and people with foreign spouses.

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!

Ola Paula, My lessons are going very well and I am enjoying them. Maje is keeping me on my toes and I feel I am making progress. She works very hard to prepare interesting work and I am enjoying the huge variety of exercises, reading passages and writing tasks. She is certainly fulfilling the programme we set out at the beginning of the course. Hope this is enough. PS my home computer is down for the next couple of weeks and I am having to pick emails up at the local public library. Un saludo James
