About me

Welcome!
I’m Irene, your Catalan teacher!

My project

My project, “Irene la prof,” was born from the deep love I have for languages. Since childhood, I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of communicating with people from different cultures. I’m a very sociable person, and when I travel, I love learning and speaking the local language. This curiosity and enthusiasm for languages led me to want to share the richness of Catalan with the world.

My love for languages

I was born and raised in a charming little village near Girona, in Catalonia. From a very young age, I felt a special attraction to languages. I started with English, which opened doors to new worlds for me, and later, I immersed myself in French, earning a degree in French philology and a master’s degree in education for adolescents and adults. Throughout this linguistic journey, I rediscovered the beauty of Catalan, my mother tongue, turning it into my passion and fully dedicating myself to teaching it.

What do I expect from you?

My goal is to make people feel the same passion for Catalan that I do. I want my students to feel lucky to speak this rich language and to walk confidently and proudly in the streets, speaking Catalan without fear. With my courses, I hope to inspire and accompany you on this fascinating learning journey.

More things about me

Favorite music style

I’m a huge fan of rock, although you’ll find me listening to any type of music that can be sung along to.

Free time

If I’m not teaching languages, you’ll probably find me doing sports. I love the mountains, climbing, skiing, and skating.

Childhood dream

When I was little, I wanted to be a Hollywood actress. I love theater and cinema, and people often tell me I’m a clown.

Love for animals

Animals are my weakness, especially dogs. I can’t walk down the street without stopping to pet any dog I come across—they’re simply adorable!
