Director of LC Global Enagement Michelle Raphoon, along with the International Students Club, host Speed Learning Languages.
The series continues with a lesson from Maria Riera Soriano, our international student from Spain. She will introduce you to her native language of Catalan. Catalan is a distinct language from Spanish and is one of four official languages of Spain and the sole official language of the small country of Andorra. The name "Catalan" comes from the northeastern region of Catalonia in Spain. Travelers will know its famous capital Barcelona. Catalan is also spoken in the neighboring regions of Valencia (known there as Valencian language), the Balearic Islands including Mallorca, and the island of Ibiza. In fact, it is the official language of Ibiza.
