The Guide for interactive self-learning of the Catalan and Occitan languages (GALÍ) offers you an extensive set of JClic activities that will help you learn and progressively consolidate your competence in these languages.
GALÍ allows you to choose between four dialect variants:
- Central Catalan
- Northwest Catalan
- Catalan of Alghero (Island of Sardinia, Italy)
- Occitan of the Aran Valley (Catalan Pyrenees)
For each variant you will find six blocks of content:
- How is this written? How do you pronounce?
- Who I am? How am I?
- What time is it? What day is today? I like?
- What do I eat? Where I live?
- What I do? What do I buy? Where I go?
- Morphosyntax
Each content block has two levels of difficulty:
- Initiation
- Deepening
In total, you will find more than 5,000 different activities organized in 48 packages. Activities include images, sound recordings, dictations and various types of games.
GALÍ can be used in two different ways:
- Accessing the “GALÍ online” portal
There you will find several screens that will allow you to reach the block of exercises you want to perform. The system remembers the result obtained in each block of activities, visually showing whether you have already passed it or whether you still have it pending. - Accessing each block from the ClicZone library
This option is recommended if you are a teacher and want to use a specific GALÍ block with your students. You can integrate it into your Moodle course and, in this way, carry out detailed monitoring of the results obtained by each student.
The GALÍ project was created in 2001, at the initiative of the Departments of Education and Culture of the Generalitat of Catalonia, with the support of the European Commission and the collaboration of various institutions in the linguistic field. It was initially published on CD-ROM, later moving to online format, accessible to anyone interested in learning Catalan or Aranese. The project was coordinated by Josep Pi, Lluïsa Bruch, Maria Areny and Montserrat Torra, with multiple collaborations in the creation of images and voice recordings, which you will find detailed in the credits of the application.
