Introduction to Catalan Language and Culture

Catalog description

Students in this course will learn the basics of Catalan, a language spoken by 10 million people. Its culture is internationally renowned in many fields, like cinema, literature, music, theatre, gastronomy, sports, and architecture. This course is designed to provide students with little or no knowledge of the Catalan language with the communicative skills they need, especially oral and cultural, to develop and manage any communicative circumstance, if they need to travel or study abroad in Barcelona or in any Catalan region where the language is spoken. Required: given the fact that this is a language course, students must attend two live online sessions each week, which are likely to be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2pm EST. The schedule may be subject to change based on the availability of students.
