Support materials for Catalan beginners taking face-to-face courses, attending self-learning centres or taking part in language exchange programmes. 

Prepared by the University of Barcelona.

The materials cover a range of subjects and are designed to encourage dialogue and conversation, while reinforcing language learning through reading.

 A collection of everyday conversations, starting at a basic level and getting more complex- You can listen to the dialogues in mp3 format and read them in a PDF file.

There are two parts: a first part with vocabulary in pictures and a second part made up of a very short conversation guide. The vocabulary includes more than 1,000 words in Catalan, which appear associated with an illustration and are grouped by topic (nursery school, adult education, pharmacy, herbs and spices, meals, etc.). The topic on each sheet is provided in Catalan, Spanish, French, English, Italian, German, Arabic, Chinese, Ukrainian and Russian. It includes a regional map and a world map.

This two-part guide, published in PDF format, is available in several languages (Catalan, Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, Occitan, Portuguese and Chinese). The first part explains how a language exchange works, including how the meeting is structured, its length, the place and the activities participants can engage in. The second part contains suggested themes for conversation and information to stimulate discussion on the similarities and differences between cultures and countries when you get together.
