CATL UN1120

Basic Catalan phrases as well as many useful words and grammar

I learned alot of vocabulary in this course, as well as some interesting cultural facts about Catalan people

I learned the fundamentals of Catalan and Catalonian culture.

I learned to converse in, listen to, and read Catalan comfortably and developed a better understanding of Catalan society and culture.

It is a fun way to complete the language requirement but it also feels like an incredibly value course.

I LOVED THIS CLASS. Every class felt more like a fun discussion than work, yet everyone in my class made dramatic language progress in a short amount of time. If you enjoy learning languages I would 100% recommend this course, especially if you want to have a smaller class. Elsa is an incredible instructor and a very kind person. 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2021 Course: CATLUN1120_001_2021_3-COMPREHENSIVEBEGCATALAN : COMPREHENSIVE BEG CATALAN- CATLUN1120_001_2021_3 - COMPREHENSIVE BEG CATALAN Instructor: Elsa Ubeda
