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. Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with. Our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who wants to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Catalonia, Valencia, or the Balearic Islands? Maybe you want to speak Catalan with your grandparents from Girona?

En: Barcelona embraced a sunny spring morning, pleasantly warm. Ca: La sala d'espera de l’hospital estava plena. En: The waiting room of the hospital was full. Ca: Olors desinfectants flotaven en l’aire, barrejades amb xiulets de màquines expenedores i xerrameca. En: Disinfectant smells floated in the air, mixed with the whistling of vending machines and chatter. Ca: Oriol estava assegut amb un visatge de resignació, però un somriure mischievós amagat. En: Oriol was sitting with a visage of resignation, but with a mischievous smile hidden. Ca: Al seu costat hi havia la Marina, observant amb els braços creuats.
