Arribes a Catalunya pensant "I’ve got this!"
Vermuts al sol, cafè per emportar… Life is good.
Fins que veus un cartell on hi posa: SORTIDA.
Algú et diu "Fins ara".
I conèixer gent local és difícil quan només saps dir "Bon dia!".
Oops.

Potser pots viure a Catalunya sense parlar català, però et perdràs el que és realment important.
La connexió amb la gent d’aquí. Els inside jokes. Les converses reals. I, sobretot, una cultura rica i apassionant que et vol acollir amb els braços oberts.

Ple de cultura, slang, passatemps, grammar, activitats, quizzes i tradicions que et deixaran amb la boca oberta. Let’s speak català! et permetrà integrar-te per fi al teu nou país.

Aquí hi trobaràs tot el que has de saber per passar de ser just an expat a sentir-te com un local:
  • Frases reals que sentiràs (i necessitaràs) cada dia.
  • Com demanar cafè, cervesa i menjar sense sonar com el Google Translate.
  • Gramàtica bàsica perquè puguis parlar des del minut 1.
  • Expressions col·loquials perquè no et quedis en el "Bon dia".
