One-to-one General/Business

Catalan Course in Nottingham

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 cover Survival Catalan, allowing you to be comfortable during short visits to the country; polite conversation, practicable vocabulary and a strong grammatical foundation. Business courses are aimed at those wishing to work in the target language - so a working knowledge of etiquette in Catalan business, as well as developing proficient reading and writing skills.


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. In the same vein, the syllabus for General courses is not set in stone - all you need do is ask your teacher.


Our Business courses cater to a range of requirements. Many of our clients work for foreign governments and educational institutions, corporations with branches abroad, as well as those who buy and sell around the world. 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.

City information


Centrally located with a city population of just under 300,000 residents, Nottingham is a large, bustling city in the East Midlands. Famous for the origin of the Robin Hood legend, the city is very student-oriented, with both a campus and city university within the urban area. Together, both universities are attended by more than 40,000 students, including a large Chinese contingent.

Nottingham is a cosmopolitan city with large Asian and black communities in both the city and surrounding area; and this multiculturalism continues to expand with further immigration from the Middle East, Africa and Europe - not to mention the myriad of different cultures who come to the city to study. With its internationalism and innumerable foreign students, living in Nottingham alone is almost a first-rate excuse to pick up a new language.

Language information


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!
