Catalan Afterwork: Connect and learn with the city’s language

“Catalan Afterwork” cycle

If you’ve moved to Barcelona, you're sure to have realised that it’s a cosmopolitan, multilingual city. Catalan and Spanish are the official languages.

By way of helping you become more familiar with the Catalan language, we’re starting a cycle of three sessions organised in collaboration with the Centre de Normalització Lingüística de Barcelona. We know for sure that it’s a good idea to become familiar with and learn Catalan. It will open up many doors for you in your personal and professional spheres, making your life in Barcelona much richer. 

In the sessions you’ll discover some curious facts and figures, be presented with tools and resources and take part in some entertaining activities that encourage everybody to take part. There’s also some time to have a drink and make some new contacts, and perhaps some new friendships.

The following sessions are planned:

• Catalan Afterwork: Connect and learn with the city’s language (Tuesday, 18 March, 2025)
• Catalan Afterwork: Break the ice and start speaking in Catalan (Tuesday, 6 May, 2025)
• Catalan Afterwork: Dare to experience Barcelona in Catalan (Tuesday, 10 June, 2025)

Attend any of the sessions, or two or all of them: you decide! The content in each session is independent, meaning you can take part in the ones you're interested in.

Catalan Afterwork (1/3): Connect and learn with the city’s language

We start the “Catalan Afterwork” cycle with a session devoted to a first contact with the Catalan language. Awaken your curiosity about the use of Catalan through interactive games and activities, start speaking it and practising with “magic words” with the rest of the participants.

We’ll finish off with drinks and some networking.
