  • Are you ready to supercharge your Catalan listening comprehension?

    Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing.

    That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Catalan, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Catalan and English.

    This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there.

    Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with.

    Our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who wants to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Catalonia, Valencia, or the Balearic Islands? Maybe you want to speak Catalan with your grandparents from Girona?

    Our podcast will give you the cultural and linguistic background to fully immerse in the Catalan speaking country. Our podcast is based on the latest research in linguistics, sociolinguistics,
    psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and education to provide the most effective method for mastering Catalan listening comprehension.

    Don't miss this opportunity, give our podcast a try and see the results for yourself. Milloreu la vostra comprensió auditiva amb les nostres històries en català avui!

Anem a encendre focs artificials!”En: Montse, her eyes shining, replied, “Tonight has to be unforgettable! Let’s set off fireworks!”Ca: Oriol fruncí el front. La idea de Montse el preocupava.En: Oriol frowned. Montse’s idea worried him.Ca: “Pot ser perillós,” va dir ell, mirant la bossa plena de petards que Montse portava.En: “It can be dangerous,” he said, looking at the bag full of firecrackers that Montse was carrying.Ca: “Tranquil, Oriol,” va dir ella, agafant un petard. “Només una mica de diversió!”En: “Relax, Oriol,” she said, taking out a firecracker. “Just a bit of fun!”Ca: Jordi, veient la tensió entre els seus amics, intentà mediar.En: Jordi, seeing the tension between his friends, tried to mediate.Ca: “Podem gaudir de la festa amb cura.

We have to be cautious,” he said, his voice tense.Ca: Montse encengué el petard amb un somriure d’emoció.En: Montse lit the firecracker with an excited smile.Ca: Tot semblava anar bé al principi, però de sobte, el petard va caure de les seves mans i va explotar prop d’una foguera, creant una situació perillosa.En: Everything seemed to go well at first, but suddenly, the firecracker slipped from her hands and exploded near a bonfire, creating a dangerous situation.Ca: La gent va començar a cridar, i Montse va quedar paralitzada pel pànic.En: People began to scream, and Montse was paralyzed with panic.Ca: Jordi va actuar ràpidament.En: Jordi acted quickly.Ca: “Tots enrere! Oriol, ajuda’m!” Ells dos van extingir el foc amb sorra, intentant calmar la situació.En: “Everyone back!

Va ser una mala idea.”En: “I’m so sorry, friends. It was a bad idea.”Ca: Jordi li posà una mà a l'espatlla.En: Jordi placed a hand on her shoulder.Ca: “Estem bé, Montse. El més important és que ningú ha pres mal.”En: “We’re okay, Montse. The most important thing is that no one got hurt.”Ca: Oriol féu una respiració profunda i assentí.En: Oriol took a deep breath and nodded.Ca: “Només volia que tots estiguéssim segurs. Però també he d’aprendre a gaudir més del moment.”En: “I just wanted everyone to be safe. But I also need to learn to enjoy the moment more.”Ca: Montse va agafar la mà d’Oriol.En: Montse took Oriol’s hand.Ca: “I jo he d’aprendre a ser més cautelosa.”En: “And I need to learn to be more cautious.”Ca: Van decidir acabar la nit mirant els focs artificials oficials des de la distància, junts i en un lloc segur.En: They decided to end the night by watching the official fireworks from a distance, together and in a safe place.Ca: Les llums il·luminaven el cel nocturn, i els tres amics, units per la seva experiència, van somriure.En: The lights illuminated the night sky, and the three friends, united by their experience, smiled.Ca: Havien apres una lliçó important aquella nit de Sant Joan.En: They had learned an important lesson that night of Sant Joan.Ca: I, així, entre riures i una nova comprensió mútua, Oriol, Montse i ...
