CLUB DE LECTURA (B2+)

Would you like to keep up your Spanish while enjoying the pleasure of reading a good book? In this literature-themed conversation course, you’ll read ‘Los nombres propios’ by Marta Jiménez Serrano. Every week you’ll discuss what you’ve read at home with your teacher and classmates, practise your Spanish, and share your views on the novel.

CATALAN

Bones! Com va això? With nearly 10 million speakers, Catalan isn’t just spoken in Catalonia. 40 percent of the Valencian community speak Catalan (though there it’s called ‘Valencian’), 73 percent of those in the Balearic Islands, and 34 percent of Andorra (where it’s the only official language). Even 6 percent of people living in the Languedoc-Roussillon area of France speak the language. So there are plenty of places where it would be helpful to speak una mica de català!
