One-to-one General/Business
Catalan Course in Nottingham
It's no problem if you need to take Catalan lessons specifically for personal use or to help with your career - our trainers mould the lesson plan to your precise needs.
A General course in Catalan will grant you 'Survival Catalan' - enough under your belt to furnish you with a working knowledge for the purpose of visiting the country, allowing you to introduce yourself and engage in conversation with native speakers. 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 possibilities are not limited to these two categories, however. Those taking a Business course will generally also learn Catalan telephone and email skills, as well as learning the basics for surviving short visits to the country. Equally, a General course will cover the fundamentals, but further focus in any particular area can easily be arranged with 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. Clients of our General Catalan courses include people moving abroad, those entering a Catalan family through marriage, those studying for a Catalan exam, as well as those who are simply passionate about Catalan language and culture.

Info about Nottingham
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.

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!
