"I think the course is excellent. It's a very pleasant initiation into the Catalan language. As well, it was with surprise that I realized I could learn through either French or English. (Learning through French is obviously a big help for me)"

Speak! Catalan is based on a natural learning process - you practice simple grammar and vocabulary tasks several times until Speak! decides that you have learned the tasks well enough to move up to the next level. In this way, you'll move from the basics to more intricate structures at your own pace in exactly the same way a child learns a language - seeing, hearing and responding over a length of time.
