Connect with Barcelona through Catalan!

 

Much more than a language: your community at the Ateneu Barcelonès.

 

Just arrived and feeling like the city is distant or not yet home? At the Catalan Club, we make learning fast, practical, and fun. Forget about traditional classes: here you will speak from day one in groups of up to 9 people, make new friends, and experience the culture from the inside through trips, book clubs, and language exchanges. All this in the heart of Barcelona, at an institution as iconic as the Ateneu, with over 160 years of history. Take the leap, connect with the city, and make yourself at home!
