Catalan Language and Culture: a Practical and Fun Course
Catalan is a romance language used by more than 11 million in Europe. Nowadays Catalan is fashionable because of its social movement in Catalunya, the fame of Barcelona and the multiple touristic attractions. In this course, the learning process is practical and combined with an immersion on the Catalan culture.
My method is based in creating visual scenarios in which you will discover the words to use and the right way to make sentences in that situation. Once we can have a small conversation in that scenario, we will repeat it at the next meeting and it will be included in our "refresh quarter" which is a 15 minute revision on all the words and ways of saying that you keep learning. My focus is on connecting the language to your needs and wishes to make sure the learning is well grounded.
2/ I will invite you to a Google Drive Sheet where you can do more exercises and choose what to practice.
3/ We will follow the official language learning program by the Generalitat de Catalunya.

About Me
At the age of 36 I was making documentaries when a Media School asked me if I could give a workshop and a new adventure started with the discovery of teaching. To my surprise (I always thought I wasn't good enough to teach) the students made more short videos and reports than ever in the previous years of the school. It seemed that I was good for them and to share my knowledge and skills was a great experience.Nowadays, I give workshops and short courses or lessons, and I am developing games for education too. I am a passionate person who loves whatever I do because I like to know more, to have challenges and to work with others.

Experience / Qualifications
Documentary Filmmaker. Game Designer.Lecturer at Universitat de Vic - Universitat Central de Catalunya. 2005-2016. Started teaching at Audiovisual Communication Studies and ended with a full-time job, completely devoted to my students and dedicated to creating new study projects and to the needed research. Meanwhile, I directed 18! Final Thesis Projects.
Guest Lecturer at International Institutions and much more.
What do you like about documentaries and what do you have to say to an audience? What insights can you give about your context? What stories near you have a meaning that matters? What images you see are powerful to touch the public? Your own ideas and experience is our main source for the decision making of what film are you ready to write and direct. The purpose of sharing my methods and process is that you find your own voice and style for developing meaningful documentaries and designing low cost production processes.
With this course you will learn Spanish in a playful easy way: we will look at the words and the grammar as part of a game that we play. So every time we play, we are better at it!
Learning and practicing how to speak a language can be challenging. My method is based in playful learning while creating scenarios in which you will discover the words we need to use and the right way to make sentences in that situation. I prepare the scenarios based on the list of interests you have. Once we can have a small conversation in that scenario, we will repeat it at the next meeting and it will be included in our "refresh quarter" which is a 15 minute revision on all the words and ways of saying that you keep learning. My focus is on connecting the language to your needs and wishes, to make sure the learning is well grounded.
Being able to express your ideas and projects in public is a fundamental ability for your professional career. In the audiovisual field where I have been working for fifteen years, giving a good convincing pitch was the only way to find investors for my documentary projects. Later, working as a teacher at a Faculty of Media and Communication, I had the opportunity to help students prepare their presentations, and very especially their Final Thesis Presentations. All and all, I have my personal toolbox for preparing anyone (welcome shyness!) to feel confident and at ease in order to communicate with the verbal language, the body language, and the visual language.
This is an eight hours course in which you will learn just enought to have your first experiences with Spanish speakers.
You will learn with a visual method:
- how to intrduce yourself
- how to do basic shoppings
- how to order food and drinks
- how to ask for directions
- how to express your opinion on basic daily stuff.
For every hour of class you put another hour and a half of study and you will be ready for your first adventures in Spanish.
This ia a five sessions course of two hours per session in which you will learn to prepare 5 healthy and tasty recipes that will give you the basis for preparing different meals.
You will learn how to:
- prepare fresh pasta with light ingredients and with a variety of sauces,
- cook spiced rise and kinoa,
- prepare tasty vegetables with different cooking methods,
- prepare fresh meat and fish in a few minutes using the grill and the oven,
At the same time you learn the cooking proceedings you will learn where to buy the freshiest ingredients and how to chose them.

José Luis Trujillo
Graduate in Advertising and Marketing, I offer to give review classes for ESO and high school subjectsMy teaching method goes beyond memorization, because I believe that it is necessary to learn any subject from understanding and thus develop learning, to apply it in an exam or work done during the course. My goal is to get students to have an active attitude both in class and when preparing for a test.
I am a person who is passionate about learning and sharing my knowledge, not just for an exam. I also believe that if you are able to foster interest in any subject, the results are achieved organically. My system is to make the content understood in a didactic way and to awaken interest in said content.

Tuition of Catalan; discovery of language and culture.- Currently a student in a Master's degree in Public Administration, I graduated from a double license in law/LEA (applied foreign languages) and a year of hypokhâgne (preparatory class for the Grandes Ecoles). I therefore think I have the necessary resources to best help young students at the college/high school level to reinforce their learning and increase their results.
- In addition to my training, given that I am trilingual (Spanish, French and Catalan) and that I am of Catalan origin, this course is mainly aimed at learning the language (written and oral) and its culture; history, links to current events, etc.
- These courses can therefore be used both for students curious to know more about this identity and for those who already have some basics.
- My way of teaching (homework, interventions, type of exercises...) will adapt according to the expectations and needs of the student.

Subjects studied in primary/secondary school and Spanish/Catalan classes for adultsIn the classes I offer, we will work dynamically, with different resources and materials so that learning is more effective and consolidated.
We always have a subject that we struggle with (whether it's English, history, natural sciences...), and what better way to review it than in a fun and enjoyable way.
In addition, I also rely on discipline and motivation.
