If you want to stay in touch with the Catalan language outside of Catalonia, you can do so through Catalan readerships or through the different casals catalans (Catalan cultural centres) that exist around the world.
Catalan readerships
The Institut Ramon Llull promotes the teaching of Catalan language, literature and culture in universities and other higher education institutions outside of the Catalan linguistic area, particularly by fostering and supporting a network of readerships and by creating professorships and other permanent studies of Catalan language and culture. It provides grants to associations or organisations from outside the linguistic area for the organisation of Catalan courses and it also provides grants for students of Catalan who come from outside the linguistic area.
There are currently 93 Catalan readerships, which provide teaching for 4,006 students around the world.

Casals catalans (Catalan cultural centres)
There are currently over 100 casals catalans in some 40 countries. The objectives of these organisations include the promotion of Catalonia in civil society and support for Catalans living outside Catalonia. These casals and Catalan centres also provide Catalan language courses or offer information on Catalan and learning materials.
