Learn Catalan with real humans

Catalan is spoken by 10 million people across Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, the Valencian Community, Andorra and a small area of southern France (Roussillon). Co-official in Spain, it is the language of one of Europe's wealthiest and most dynamic regions: Catalonia accounts for 19% of Spain's GDP. A lingua franca tied to a strong cultural identity, Catalan is also a Romance language closely related to French and Occitan, English speakers with a Romance-language background have a real head start.

Did you know? Catalan has a literary history dating back to the 12th century, one of the richest in medieval Europe. During the Franco dictatorship (1939-1975), the language was banned from public life, which reinforced its role as a symbol of identity. Today, Catalan is a mandatory language of instruction in Catalonia. A fun fact: 'Bon dia' (hello) closely echoes the French 'bon jour', and many Catalan words are actually closer to French than to Spanish. Barcelona is the 4th most-visited city in Europe and the top European destination for international conferences.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Catalan

Yes, it is one of the most accessible languages for French speakers. Catalan and French share a common Latin origin and many similar words. Studies show that French speakers reach a B1 level in Catalan in 2 to 3 times less time than in German. If you also speak Spanish or Italian, it becomes even easier.
No, it is not necessary. Catalan is an independent Romance language, and our lessons start from scratch. That said, if you already speak Spanish or French, your progress will be faster. In Catalonia, everyone speaks both languages, but speaking Catalan shows deep respect for the local culture.
More than you might think: Catalan is also spoken in the Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Ibiza), in the Valencian Community (Valencia), in Andorra (where it is the sole official language) and in the French Pyrénées-Orientales. In total, 10 million speakers across 4 countries. For living, working or integrating in these regions, Catalan is a decisive asset.
Absolutely. Barcelona is a major European tech hub with more than 1,200 startups. Catalonia represents 19% of Spain's GDP. Speaking Catalan in a professional setting there is a highly appreciated signal of integration. On top of that, many multinationals have their Iberian headquarters in Barcelona.
For a French speaker, a conversational level (B1-B2) is achievable in 4 to 6 months with 2 lessons per week. Catalan shares roughly 85% of its vocabulary with Spanish and 75% with French. Pronunciation (open and closed vowels, final consonants) is the main challenge. Our lessons emphasise speaking from the very first session.

Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.

What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.

DamienVerified purchase
S

Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.

SorayaVerified purchase

Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.

AntoineVerified purchase
E

The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.
