Moltes Gràcies!

This is so helpful for a beginner! I’ve just recently purchased a second home in Catalunya and my Spanish is passable, but I love the idea of getting off on the best footing with my new friends and neighbors. Thank you for bringing me closer to a foundation of the Catalan language.

Wonderful job!

Thank you for this wonderful podcast!

Great for learning basic Catalan

Going to Spain later this year and wanted to get some basic Catalan for our time in Barcelona. This app makes learning super easy! Episodes are short and focused, and allow the listener time to repeat back phrases as they’re taught. Definitely recommend!!!
