Three sailboats under full sail on a calm sea

BCNautic atentiko

For BCNautic guests

Your Spanish, and a little Catalan, for the regatta

Setting sail with BCNautic for a regatta or a seminar off Barcelona? Get ready with a Spanish and Catalan course designed for the event: sailing, the sea, the start instructions and life in Barcelona back on shore. A few minutes a day, before, during and after your visit.

What you get

  • Dare to speak from day one

    Greeting people, ordering, asking the way: you arrive with the phrases that really matter.

  • The words of your stay

    A course written with BCNautic: its places, its activities, its vocabulary. Not a textbook’s.

  • A few minutes a day

    Short, fun lessons on your phone or computer, whenever you like.

  • And it doesn’t stop there

    Back home, you keep going: new lessons so you don’t forget, and to plan your next trip.
