“Moved to Barcelona last year for work. Catalan isn't required but my colleagues really appreciate it. Clear lessons, solid level. The mobile app is a bit of a pain sometimes though.”
“Been in Barcelona 2 years, a bit embarrassed about my Catalan. Good progress in 3 months. Just the weekend slots fill up fast, wish there were more.”
“got offered a position in Barcelona. had 2 months to reach a decent level in Catalan. mission accomplished — my team was genuinely surprised I could actually speak a little 🏆”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
