Learn Catalan Through Short Stories

Learn Through Short Audio Stories and Clear Translations

By: Simon Armstrong

Narrated by: Mariona Canas, Tina Smith

Learn Catalan intuitively by listening to carefully crafted short stories designed specifically for beginner and intermediate learners (A1-A2 levels). This audiobook course teaches you Catalan the way you learned your first language—naturally, through context and repetition.

Each story in this course is presented twice, allowing you to absorb the language at your own pace. You'll hear the Catalan narrative followed by a complete English translation, helping you understand meaning while building vocabulary and grammar naturally, then after hearing the translation, you'll hear the Catalan story again to refine your understanding. Rather than memorizing isolated words or conjugation tables, you'll encounter the language in real, engaging contexts that make learning both effective and enjoyable.

The stories are calibrated for beginners and early intermediate learners, using simple yet authentic Catalan that gradually builds your comprehension skills. As you listen, you'll develop an intuitive feel for sentence structure, common expressions, and everyday vocabulary without the frustration of complex grammar explanations.

To reinforce your learning, the course includes a comprehensive review session at the end. This allows you to consolidate everything you've encountered throughout the stories. This spaced repetition approach helps cement new vocabulary and patterns in your memory.

Whether you're planning to visit Catalonia, connecting with Catalan-speaking family and friends, or simply passionate about languages, this audiobook provides an accessible entry point into one of Europe's beautiful Romance languages. Learn anywhere, and on your own schedule—during your commute, while exercising, or relaxing at home.
