Teaching of Catalan
Catalan courses for adults are divided into: Beginners’ level (aimed at non-Catalan speakers), Intermediate level intended for people with a good command of the oral language and aimed at developing comprehension, speaking and writing skills, and Advanced level. Specific training is designed for groups such a shopkeepers and local police or professional groups with their own specialised language such as legal language.
Distance learning is provided for the intermediate level based on self-learning aided by a tutor.
The Consorci has 10 Catalan self-learning centres in Barcelona which provid the services of a tutor to guide the learning process.
The "Digui, digui" course is for non-Catalan speakers broadcast by local radio and television stations. "Català en curs" is a course offered for Catalan speakers in the local and regional press.

Famous quotes containing the words teaching and/or catalan:
“This teaching is not practical in the sense in which the New Testament is. It is not always sound sense in practice. The Brahman never proposes courageously to assault evil, but patiently to starve it out. His active faculties are paralyzed by the idea of caste, of impassable limits of destiny and the tyranny of time.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The table kills more people than war does.”
—Catalan proverb, quoted in Colman Andrews, Catalan Cuisine.
