If you believe you have a higher level and are interested in attending a Catalan class, send an email to dinamitzacio.santmarti@cpnl.cat. 

Cost, signing up and participation

This course is subsidised by Barcelona City Council and the Government of Catalonia, so it is free for participants.

If you sign up but cannot begin the course, kindly cancel your registration by sending an email to citypromotion@barcelonactiva.cat, so that someone else can have your place.

If you sign up for the course and have to stop attending halfway through it, you will need to explain why you are dropping out in an email message to this same email address.

If once you are signed up you do not start the course or you stop coming without explaining why, your place will go unused and there will be a sanction, which is losing the right to sign up for a similar course in the future.
