Learning Catalan
Introduction
These materials have been prepared by me as a practical handbook for learning Catalan. For simplicity, all potential references have been omitted.
Please do not treat them as academic work.
They are a work in progress and will be updated gradually. All data come from
Google Translate,
ChatGPT, and native speakers around me.
If you do not have basic knowledge of linguistics, I highly recommend first reading the section Getting Ready for some essential background, as well as
the Leipzig Glossing Rules for information on how linguistic data are encoded.
These materials are free for personal use; however, for any commercial use or activities intended for financial gain, prior authorization from me is required.
