Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing. That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Catalan, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Catalan and English. This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there.

En: Despite being introverted, Martí needed to break out of his shell and seek that spark of inspiration he so desired for his next novel. Ca: A l'interior del búnquer, les parets d'acer rebotaven amb un so melòdic i càlid. En: Inside the bunker, the steel walls resonated with a warm, melodic sound.
