Consolidate and build on what you have learned from the lexical and grammatical content typical of an advanced A1-level Catalan course, so that you can exchange basic information on various topics in everyday life. We work with language content while discovering some of the most characteristic features of Catalan culture.

Description

Catalan course using a wide range of audiovisual resources, designed as the continuation of the Catalan for Beginners course (A1.1). Learning takes place through a fiction series, titled Sense voler; each chapter takes what students must learn and contextualises it in a real environment. The fiction series is further enriched by reels that introduce the grammatical and lexical content to be worked on in each chapter, podcasts discussing cultural topics, both individual and collective activities and a dossier, with incorporated audio recordings that compile all the content dealt with.

Chat with AI to learn Catalan

Description

Video and downloadable guides for newcomer students to converse with AI with the aim of learning the Catalan language. The resource is proposed as an alternative for conversation if a language volunteer is not available and is based on the oral use of ChatGPT. The guides (in Catalan, Spanish and English) provide basic instructions for conversation and help learners interact appropriately with AI to learn language through conversation.

Material coordinated by the UAB Language Service, in collaboration with the language services of the following universities: UB, UPC, UdG, UPF, URV and UdL. Resource developed with an Interlingua grant (2024) from the Generalitat de Catalunya.

Description

Fils de conversa consists of 10 thematic units that deal with current topics; in each one you will always find four blocks that we call fils, "threads" in Catalan: Mira i parla ("Look and speak"); Escolta i parla ("Listen and talk"); Guaita i opina ("Observe and give your opinion"), and Parlem-ne i fem ("Let's talk and do"). Each thread proposes four activities aimed at introducing vocabulary, encouraging reading among peers, practising linguistic and communicative structures and, above all, facilitating conversation.

There are over 300 activities that promote exchange and conversation. See the user guide (Guia d’ús) for a more detailed explanation of how it works.

Prepared by the Secretariat for Language Policy.
